Explicit Equations vs. list equations

[MrC]

I have several equations that are explicitly written out for constraining purposes, something like the following:

Code: Select all

y = C(1)*x1 + (1-C(1))*X2

However, if I do this I can't do certain tests, such as the Multiple Breakpoint tests, as these require the equation to be specified as a list.

Is there anyway around this? To get the functionality as if it were a list equation while in the explicit equation format?

Many thanks,

MrC

Unfortunately not. In general, the tests (or, at the very least our implementation of them) require linear least squares, and since you've estimated a non-linear equation, they aren't available.

Ah that's a shame, but thank you for letting me know!
