Checking into MBC

Having created a model template file, save it somewhere on the path.

To ensure that the model you have defined provides an interface that allows MBC to evaluate and fit it, we check in the model. If this procedure succeeds, the model is registered by MBC and is thereafter available for fitting at the local level whenever appropriate input data is being used.

Check In

At the command line, with the template file on the path, create a model and some input data, then call checkin. For the user-defined Weibul function, the procedure is as follows:

Create an xregusermod using the template model file called weibul.

• m = xregusermod('name','weibul');
  

Call checkin with the transient model, its name, and some appropriate data.

• checkin(m, 'weibul', [0.1:0.01:0.2]');
  

This creates some command line output, and a figure appears with the model name and variable names displayed over graphs of input and model evaluation output. The final command line output (if checkin is called with a semicolon as above) is

• Model successfully registered for MBC
  

The figure displayed for weibul is
