[Gretl-users] Loops and user-defined functions in mle command

Good morning. I have a likelihood computed by applying quadrature twice, in a double-sum way.  I can compute the inner sum and then use an index loop to compute the outer sum and the whole likelihood. My questions are a) Can I include a loop inside an mle command? My impression is, "no". b) If I write the computation of the likelihood in a user-defined function, can I include this function in an mle command? If the answer is again "no", than I guess I will have to, reversely, include the mle command in a subsequent user-defined function, as shown in the user's guide, right? -- Alecos Papadopoulos PhD Athens University of Economics and Business web: alecospapadopoulos.wordpress.com/ scholar:https://g.co/kgs/BqH2YU
