differences between fixed and constant #107

Closed mikeaalv closed 6 years ago

mikeaalv commented 6 years ago

For aFit in arSetPars, actually, I don't quite understand the differences between fixed and constant. Could you give some cases on where to use them?

JoepVanlier commented 6 years ago

I don't think there's a functional difference. It is more to communicate what the parameter means and to be able to differentiate between parameters you may want to free later.

So, What's the differences between fixed and constant? Is the former means fixed by user and the latter means fixed in its own sence?
