[Limdep Nlogit List] parameter constraints

[William Greene]

Twan. ;RST=list is for nonlinear estimation, not for least squares.
For this, to impose restrictions, use 
;CLS: restriction, restriction, ...
If you want b1 to equal b2, use
;CLS:b(1)-b(2)=0
Restricted least squares is documented in the manual chapter on the
linear regression model.

Subject: [Limdep Nlogit List] parameter constraints

Hi all,

 

I have a question that seems to be so simple but I can't work out what
the problem is.  I am doing a straightforward regression analysis in
which I want to include parameter constraints - see below.  Following
the Limdep reference guide (R11-1) I use the 'rst' command to restrict
the first two parameters to be equal but the output shows me the
identical results as the non-constrained model.  I get no error message;
somehow the command does not seem to be recognised.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks,

Twan
