Documentation

The videos section gives you a quick impression of PottersWheel. Before creating own models please read the introduction and visit the terminology site to get acquainted with the basic methodology.

The tutorials First steps and Fitting exemplify step-by-step how to simulate synthetic data or to fit experimental measurements.

The list of important functions is a good starting point in order to use PottersWheel from command line or within own Matlab scripts. The complete function reference contains the same information as when typing help functionName in the Matlab command window.

Example models and data sets are included in the PottersWheel toolbox. Use either the menu Model | Add model from library and Data | Add data from library, the magnifying glass to search the model library, or open the ModelLibrary and DataLibrary folders in the toolbox folder directly.

The old documentation of version 1.4 is still available. The implemented concepts are described in
