and I entered the follwoing commands:

compute A11=1, A22=0.9,A33=0.05,A44=-0.1, A2=0.12,A3=0.01,A4=-0.1

frml HF = exp(qf{1}+A2*log(h{1})+A3*u{1} + A4*E{1}/h{1})
frml logl = h(t)=hf(t),(Q(t)=QF(t)),(u(t)=res(t)),-0.5*(log(0.29**2) + u(t)**2/.29**2)
maximize(method=GENETIC,iters=100) LOGL 3 500
maximize(method=bfgs, iters=100) LOGL 3 500

but my result does not have the t-test for the last three variables like:

MAXIMIZE - Estimation by BFGS
Convergence in 8 Iterations. Final criterion was 0.0000000 <= 0.0000100

Would anyone know what has went wrong?
