		Restricted Structural Change Models // Methods for detecting
		structural breaks and estimating break locations for linear
		multiple regression models under general linear restrictions on
		the coefficient vector. Restrictions can be within regimes,
		across regimes, or both, and are supported in two forms: an
		affine parameterization (Form A: delta = S*theta + s) and
		explicit linear constraints (Form B: R*delta = r). Provides
		break date estimation with confidence intervals, a restricted
		sup-F test for the null of no structural change, simulation of
		critical values by Monte Carlo, and a bootstrap restart
		procedure to reduce the risk of convergence to spurious local
		optima. Also implements a generalized regression tree (linear
		model tree) procedure where each leaf contains a linear
		regression model rather than a local average. Reference:
