matrix of MPT parameters (rows: individuals; columns: parameters). Parameters are assigned by column names of the matrix. all of the parameters in the model file need to be included.

number of responses per tree (a named vector with tree labels)

The (relative or full) path to the file that specifies the MPT model (standard .eqn syntax). Note that category labels must start with a letter (different to multiTree) and match the column names of data. Alternatively, the EQN-equations can be provided within R as a character value (cf. readEQN). Note that the first line of an .eqn-file is reserved for comments and always ignored.

Specifies which parameters should be (a) constant (e.g., "a=b=.5") or (b) constrained to be identical (e.g., "Do=Dn") or (c) treated as fixed effects (i.e., identical for all participants; "a=b=FE"). Either given as the path to a text file with restrictions per row or as a list of restrictions, e.g., list("D1=D2","g=0.5"). Note that numbers in .eqn-equations (e.g., d*(1-g)*.50) are directly interpreted as equality constraints.
