st: non-linear estimation with alternating parameters

[Jacqueline.Yuen@sf.frb.org]

I have a model that uses different parameters for each observation.  The
equation looks something like:

`1' = p(var1)  *  p(var2) * ... where var1 and var2 are variables
containing values used to denote which parameters are to be use.

var1 var2 `1'=
1    1    p1 * p1 * ...
1    2    p1 * p2 * ...
8    4    p8 * p4 *...

Is there anyway to do this without having to type out every combination of
parameters and multiplying it by a dummy variable?
