Introduction

Here we can configure some specific settings for the fitting

Navigate

Main Menu —> Model Fitting —> Settings

Details

1. Number of seeds

Set up the number of random seeds.

2. Fitting methods

Set up the parameters optimization methods.

Powell : a method for finding a minimum of a function without the need for gradient information, relying on a set of directions to minimize along and updating them based on function evaluations.

VBMC : is an approximate inference method designed to fit and evaluate computational models with a limited budget of potentially noisy likelihood evaluations (e.g., for computationally expensive models).

Suggestions: Users can use the Powell algorithm for faster fitting, more random seeds or the VBMC algorithm for more accurate results (which is more time consuming).
