BOUNDS Statement |
operator item < operator item < operator item ...> >
Each item is a constant, parameter, or list of parameters. Parameters associated with a regressor variable are referred to by the name of the corresponding regressor variable. Each operator is <, >, <=, or >=. The following example indicates that the lower and upper bounds for the parameter THETA are and , respectively.
bounds -5 < THETA < 10;
If you do not specify bounds, the internal default values are used; the default values are described in the section Details: COPULA Procedure. For the normal and copulas, the correlation matrix uses only the default parameter bounds, which are and for lower bound and upper bound, respectively.
