Given a set of Parameters starting at different periods:

(Ex.)

Parameter(1)

0 0.10 20 40 0.0

% first element: Set equal to one to start model. If zero no other parameter value below matters. % Second element: Per-period probability that model. % Third element: Period export model begins % Fourth element: Period model ends % Fifth element: Number strictly between 0 and 1, inclusive.

All parameters are to trigger certain time periods. So a start and stop time option is needed for the parameters. How would you create start and stop time option for each parameter?
