nuderst - Set step size for numerical differentiation

Syntax

nds = nuderst(pars)

Description

The function pem uses numerical differentiation with respect to the model parameters when applied to state-space structures. The same is true for many functions that transform model uncertainties to other representations.

The step size used in these numerical derivatives is determined by the M-file nuderst. The output argument nds is a row vector whose kth entry gives the increment to be used when differentiating with respect to the kth element of the parameter vector pars.

The default version of nuderst uses a very simple method. The step size is the maximum of times the absolute value of the current parameter and . You can adjust this to the actual value of the corresponding parameter by editing nuderst. Note that the nominal value, for example 0, of a parameter might not reflect its normal size.
