estim_pars
Runs the AmP estimation procedure
Contents
Syntax
[nsteps, info, fval] = estim_pars
Description
Runs the entire estimation procedure, see Marques et al 2018, PLOS computational biology https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1006100 See also Robles et al 2021, (in prep) for the ea-method.
- gets the parameters
- gets the data
- initiates the estimation procedure
- sends the results for handling
Input
- no input
Output
- nsteps: scalar with number of steps
- info: boolean with succussful convergence (true)
- fval: minimum of loss function
Remarks
estim_options sets many options; Option filter = 0 selects filter_nat, which always gives a pass, but still allows for costomized filters in the predict file; Option output >= 5 allow the filling of global refPets to choose comparison species, otherwise this is done automatically.
