Description

In the output database, D, each parameter is a 1-by-3 cell array. The first cell is a vector of parameter values at which the local behaviour was investigated. The second cell is a matrix with two column vectors: the values of the overall minimised objective function (as set up in the estimate function), and the values of the data likelihood component. The third cell is a vector of four numbers: the parameter estimate, the value of the objective function at optimum, the lower bound and the upper bound.
