Re: st: Nonlinear constraints in -ml- programming

[Muyang Zhang <zmyfudan@gmail.com>]

Maybe I have used a incorrect notation. I didn't mean to have N
dummies with N observations. The number of observations is larger than
the number of dummies.

The FAQ you shared discussed the way to deal with interval
constraints, but my problem is a "proportional constraints" where the
coefficient of the 2nd equation over the coefficient of the 1st
equation is constant for all dummies.
