<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms',sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms',sans-serif">In the data section you can read in vectors of lower bounds (lb_x) and upper bounds (ub_x) and even an ivector of phases from which you wish to turn each element on (phase_x). Then the code below sets any number of parameters with the same number of ADMB lines (I think 3 total, 4 with phases vector)</div>

I am not trying to declare the dimensions of a vector. I am just trying to set up the bounds of a bounded parameter in the PARM_SECTION. I know that if I declare a double first and then use that double in the PARM_SECTION to set bounds, it works. But that is ugly coding (6 lines and 3 variable names extra per parm). So I am wondering if there is an elegant way of calling an element in the vector directly when setting up the bounds and phases. If there is not, that's fine - just wanted to know. Thanks.</div>
