# b21c. Re-estimate the Pareto-optimal models
#
# This example mirrors plot_b21c_process_pareto.py. The complete b21b model
# specification is included below so this R script is self-contained. Native
# Biogeme reads the Pareto file, re-estimates the selected configurations,
# compiles the summary, and creates the optional Pareto plot.

# command line, validates the data/Python paths, configures the bridge, reads
# the data, and creates the output directory. It does not define this model.
