<br>
I am calculating a series of probability density functions that take<br>
quite some time to calculate. I would like to write the outputs to a<br>
file so that I can plot the PDFS without having to re-calculate them<br>
every time. What is the best way to do that. Is there a function that<br>
would keep all the metadata and data that I can read with a<br>
PrintVarSummary.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
