Dear Statalist,

I have a simple question regarding how to get access to the full set of parameters that belong to one single equation. To exemplify, below there is a code that fits a two-equation model using -ml-. What I want to obtain is a row vector containing all of the parameters from the mu equation (3 regressors). Is there any direct way to obtain this using the name of the equation?

I know that we can access to specific parameters using the following syntax: _b[mu:weight]. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a way to get access to the full set of parameters associated with the mu equation.

Code:
*** mynormal1_lf.ado ***
Code:
program mynormal1_lf
version 11
args lnfj mu sigma
quietly replace `lnfj' = ln(normalden($ML_y1,`mu',`sigma'))
end




Code:

*** runmynormal.do ***
Code:
. sysuse auto, clear 
(1978 Automobile Data)

. ml model lf mynormal1_lf (mu: mpg = weight displacement) (sigma:)

. ml maximize
