Questions about the raw output file in NM7
Dear NMusers,
I would like to have your help on two issues regarding the raw output file in NM7:
1- when using $ESTIMATION PRINT=0 with "old" estimation methods (FO, FOCE, FOCEI, HYBRID and Laplacian), the raw output files only contain the -1000000000 line plus possibly the -1000000001, -1000000002 and -1000000003 lines. With new estimation methods, the files also contain data at iteration 0. Is there an option we can use with old estimation method to request the iteration 0 data to be written into the raw output files?
2- when an estimation step is requested after a simulation step with NSUB>1, the raw output file only reports the result of the last simulation/estimation run. E.g. when I tried the following code,
$SIM (1212345) NSUB=3
$ESTIMATION METHOD=COND FILE=whatever.est PRINT=1 MAXEVAL=5000 NOABORT
only TABLE NO. 3 was reported in whatever.est. By stopping the run at different times, I found out that the content of the file is actually overwritten at each sub-problem. Is there a option that would append the new content to the file rather than overwriting it?
Thank you in advance for your feedback.
