| All variables locked | The only free variables are the stock sizes and the latent variables. The stock size estimates are essentially equal to the base case. Since so many variables are locked, the confidence intervals are very small. The misfit is better than for the base case. | | | All variables locked | The only free variables are the stock sizes and the latent variables.
