ReadMe file for the OPTIMI toolbox version 0.12 Monday, July 12, 2004 at 19:25:18 Written by Neil D. Lawrence. License Info ------------ This software is free for academic use.

This toolbox implements functions which allow non-linear transformations between parameters to be optimised. For example it allows variances to be optimised in log space using expTransform. sigmoidTransform allows parameters to be constrained to be between 0 and 1, negLogLogitTransform constrains a parameter to be positive. File Listing ------------ cmpndTieParameters.m: Tie parameters together. expTransform.m: Constrains a parameter to be positive through exponentiation. negLogLogitTransform.m: Constrains a parameter to be positive. optimiseParams.m: Optimise parameters. sigmoidTransform.m: Constrains a parameter to be between 0 and 1.
