626	Plausible initial values for BSR chain	Víctor de Buen Remiro	Víctor de Buen Remiro	"It's neccesary a generic method to get plausible initial values for BSR chain.

In this case Plausible means factible and no null density weighted.

At this moment problem is solved for small and medium scale models by means of QuadProg R package. In order to use it you should set these configuration parameters about initial values trying

{{{
    //Try order for constrained max likelihood solution to start MCMC
    Real bsr.iniVal.try.cnstrMLE = 1;
    //Try order for constrained minimum norm solution to start MCMC
    Real bsr.iniVal.try.cnstrMinNorm = 2;
    //Try order for given by user solution to start MCMC
    Real bsr.iniVal.try.givenByUser = 3;
    //Try order for zero solution to start MCMC
    Real bsr.iniVal.try.zero = 4;
