Parameter restrictions

Dear Stephane Hess,

Is there an easy way to impose restrictions on parameters, such as Beta_time_bus = Beta_time_train, without directly manipulating the utility functions?

Kind regards
Andy

Hi Andy

if you really want to set two parameters to be the same, then it's much easier to just replace them by a single joint parameter. Using constraints in estimation is never a good idea, really. It is possible in the new version of Apollo, via passing the constraints setting to maxLik (maxLik_settings inside estimate_settings), but again, it's not something I tend to do.

Best wishes

Stephane
