fixed at zero, only the first few columns of integration nodes (specified in :class:`Problem`) will be used.
To have nonzero covariances for only a subset of the random coefficients, the characteristics for those
random coefficients with zero covariances should come first in :math:`X_2`. This can be seen by looking at
the expression for :math:`\Sigma\Sigma'`, the actual covariance matrix of the random coefficients.

Configuration for which elements in the matrix of parameters that measures how agent tastes vary with
demographics, :math:`\Pi`, are fixed at zero and starting values for the other elements, which, if not fixed
