Initialization

The class is initialized by passing the following arguments:

regression_procedure

- a fully qualified name of the module/class in which the regression is implemented (see Section 7.6.5).

submodel_string

- If model contains submodels, this character string specifies what attribute of the observation set determines those submodels.

run_config

- A collection of additional arguments that control a simulation run. It should be of class Resources.

estimate_config

- A collection of additional arguments that control an estimation run. It should be of class Resources.

From the argument regression_procedure the initialization method creates a class attribute regression, using RegressionModelFactory (see Section 7.6). The remaining arguments are set as class properties.
