272+ As an alternative, users can choose to * not* re-estimate the size terms, by
273+ providing exogenous size terms in the model specification, and instructing Larch
274+ not to re-estimate these parameters. This is done via the ` Model.lock_value `
275+ command, which will fix any given named parameter to a specific value. This command
276+ takes two arguments: the name of the parameter to be fixed, and the value to
277+ fix it to. The ` lock_value ` command can be used to fix the size term parameters
278+ to the values in the size term specification file, and then the model will be
279+ estimated without re-estimating the size terms. If no re-estimation is desired,
280+ users can also safely ignore the ` update_size_spec ` function.
