Type (for models) - Valid model types

Syntax

model.Type M = mbcmodel.CreateModel(Type, NUMINPUTS) M2 = CreateModel(M, Type)

This is a property of mbcmodel.model.

model.Type returns the model type. This property is set at creation time. See CreateModel.

The model Type determines which properties you can set. To set properties, see Properties (for models), and LocalModel Properties.

Note Spaces and case in model Type are ignored.

The model type must be one shown in the following table.

Type	Model Object
Polynomial	mbcmodel.linearmodel
Hybrid Spline	mbcmodel.linearmodel
RBF	mbcmodel.linearmodel
Hybrid RBF	mbcmodel.linearmodel
Polynomial-RBF	mbcmodel.linearmodel
Hybrid Spline-RBF	mbcmodel.linearmodel
Multiple Linear	mbcmodel.linearmodel
Free Knot Spline	mbcmodel.model
Transient	mbcmodel.model
User-Defined	mbcmodel.model
Neural Network	mbcmodel.model
Local Polynomial Spline	mbcmodel.localmodel
Local Polynomial with Datum	mbcmodel.localmodel
Local Polynomial	mbcmodel.localmodel
Local Hybrid Spline	mbcmodel.localmodel
Local Truncated Power Series	mbcmodel.localmodel
Local Free Knot Spline	mbcmodel.localmodel
Local Multiple Models	mbcmodel.localmodel
Local Growth	mbcmodel.localmodel
Local User-Defined	mbcmodel.localmodel
Local Transient	mbcmodel.localmodel
Local Average Fit	mbcmodel.localmodel

Get a list of types, using getAlternativeTypes, by entering the following syntax:

Mlist = getAlternativeTypes(M)

where M is an mbcmodel.model object.

Create an alternative model as follows: M = mbcmodel.CreateModel(Type, NUMINPUTS)or M2 = CreateModel(M, Type).
