Hello,

i programmed a maximum likelihood function and used a really big database to estimate some parameters. It was taking a while (which is relaed to the huge ammount of data and the "weird" probability function i was using) so then i asked myself "is there a way to stop matlab, turn off the computer, etc. and continue later with the calculations? i mean, it had done for instance 100 iterations. i'd like to stop right there, and the next time i open matlab make it so it continues with the 101th iteration, right from where it was when i closed it. Is that possible? The calculations already finished but im still curious.

My second question is if there's a way to recover the best solution so far after you use ctrl+C to stop the calculations. There shouldnt be a problem for matlab to give me the best values of the parameters in the previous iterations. i know they wouldn't be useful at all but i'd still like to know.

Regards,

Maskala.

maybe this is not the best solution, but I will save my results after every iteration to the file :) after that nothing is lost, you can load it and do whatever you want with this result.
