starting values with interval and condition

[ch2324]

hi,
how can start values (param) with the interval with this cases:
1/c(1)=[0.1; 0.6], inside interval (take values betwwen 0.1 to 0.6)
2/c(1)=]0.1; 0.6[, outside interval (not from 0.1 to 0.6)
3/c(1)=]0.1; 0.6] all values limited at 0.6
4/c(1)=[0.1; 0.6[ from 0.1 and all outhers values
5/c(1)‹0.2
6/c(1)‹=0.2
7/c(1)›0.5
8/c(1)›=0.5
9/c(1)=0.2 just take one value
i seen than i can include a line that begins with param:
param c(1) 0.2 c(2) 0.3.....etc

can you help me

Not really sure what you want here.

You want to generate random numbers between those values and use those random numbers as starting values?

[ch2324]

i have this model
y c x1 x2 x3
1st case:
c(1)=0.2 take just 0.2
c(2) and c(3) and c(4) between [0.2; 0.6]
2nd case
c(1)...c(4) just take value outside ]0.2; 0.6[
3rd case:
c(1)....c(4)‹=0.6
can i make that the coef take value or take the value between interval.
you understood me.

ok, so you're not talking about starting values at all? You just want to impose restrictions on the final estimated values?

[ch2324]

i can restrict this to use wald test after estimation the model, but how can starting values in this case.
1/c(1)=[0.1; 0.6], c(1) take value just in this interval
2/c(1)=[0.1; 0.6], c(1) take value out side this interval
3/c(1)=]0.1; 0.6] all values limited at 0.6
4/c(1)=[0.1; 0.6[ from 0.1 and all outhers values
5/c(1)‹0.2
6/c(1)‹=0.2
7/c(1)›0.5
8/c(1)›=0.5
9/c(1)=0.2 just take one value
for example for the first case, c(1) should be starting value from 0.1 to 0.6, the second case c(1) should start by value out side [0.1; 0.6].

param c(1) 0.3
param c(1) -0.3

That does what you said, but I doubt it's what you want.

[ch2324]

i mean that i can put limits on estimated coefficient values in my linear regression.

So, again, you are not talking about starting values at all?
