Parameter Bounds

The parameter bounds part of the model specification file begins with the keyword bounds--see the example model specification files. No comments can be placed until all of the bounds have been set. The bounds are set using the following format:

parameter-number lower-bound upper-bound

Parameters are numbered 1 through n. The free parameters are ordered first by matrix: $\Lambda$, $\Theta_{\epsilon}$, $\text{B}$, and $\Psi$. Within a matrix they are numbered columnwise--going in order down each column. As a check the free parameters are printed with both their number and matrix location at the top of both GENBLIS's standard output and in the listing file.
