To state my question more generally, I would like to constrain the
parameters of a logistic regression model. As far as I can tell,
the only parameter constraint available in SAS is suppression of
the intercept. If other types of constraint are available, I'd be
grateful for a reference to pertinent documentation.
Many thanks,
Paul von Hippel
P.S. Below I clarify two details from my original posting.

Let me clarify. When I say
b_i >= 0 for all i >= 2
I mean that the coefficient is *non-negative* if i is at least 2.
>Is I a variable value?
i is a subscript on the coefficient and variable names.
In my original statement of the model, i=0,1,2,...,k, as follows.
log odds (Y) = b_0 + b_1*X_1 + b_2*X_2 + ... + b_k*X_k
