Hi Ning,
unless I'm mistaken, there's no way to do that without changing
the code. One thing you could try, though, is to pass an additional
constraint to the calibrate() method (there's an optional parameter
for it) that forces your a to be in a range around 0.3. I'm not sure
how narrow you can make the range before causing problems to the
optimizer, so you might have to experiment a bit...
