question on starting values
Posted: Sun Jan 03, 2021 3:12 pm
Hi,
Is there any difference between a) creating a coefficient vector using the command "coef" and then setting the values equal to desired starting values and b) using the command param?
Specifically, is
treated differently to
I am especially interested in the context of state space models, as the help page explicitly states using the "param" approach.

Specifically, is
Code: Select all
coef(3) a
a(1) = 0.1
a(2) = 0.5
a(3) = -1
Code: Select all
coef(3) a
param a(1) 0.1 a(2) 0.5 a(3) -1
Thanks
