Setting up calibration and priors outside the model file =========================================================== Outside the model file, fixed parameters and priors are separated. Fixed parameters can be given in a cell array :: params={ 'rho',0.6 'beta',0.998 ... 'kappa', 161 } Or as a structure :: params=struct(); params.rho=0.6; params.beta=0.998; ... params.kappa=161; Then the parameterization can be pushed into a model object as :: m=set(m,'parameters',params); Priors for Bayesian (and MLE) estimation are given as a structure. See the section on prior distributions.
