[R] Reading Data from mle into excel?

[Greg Snow]

The sink function will write to a file what normally shows up on the screen after running some code.  So while it is possible to use it to capture the output of the mle command and read the results into excel, I don't see anything useful that you could then do with it in excel.

If you can tell us more about what your ultimate goal is, what you want to do with the results, then we can give better advice on either how to get the pieces you want into excel, or probably better, how do accomplish what you want in R without needing to involve excel at all.
