iPE::Options(3)

NAME
iPE::Options - holder of all options for parameter estimation.

DESCRIPTION
Reads in the options for parameter estimation. These are set in the options element of the instance file. For all boolean options, the element should look like this:

    <verbose>true</verbose>

All other options with variable types are just the character data from between the tags. Defaults are contained in this module as well, so if you wish to change the defaults, look here.

You may also get a default options object by calling

    $options = new iPE::Options;

FUNCTIONS

default (optionName)
    Returns the default value of the option. Upon instantiation, the options are all unset. The XML file is read and all the options are parsed. When an option is requested, it searches all options for an option that was set from the XML file. If that fails, it searches this default function for a default value. If that fails, the script dies.
