Min

If the parameter has a minimum value that is consistent across all cases, it will be shown in the Min column.

In some cases, the minimum value is strictly enforced. However, in most cases you can use a value less than the minimum if you choose. Generally, it is safe to go outside the range for economic parameters, but going outside the range for performance parameters may put you outside the range in which the model is valid.

A few parameters have a minimum value that is based on other parameters and strictly enforced. These are not shown in the Min column and are handled on a case-by-case basis, typically using read-only parameters .

If the parameter is a menu, this column will say "Menu".
