What is 'mkt'?

The function (probably?) 'mktargs' is used in a code that I am referring to. Can someone help me understand what exactly mktargs and mkt is? Thank you in advance!

I find it called in https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/60322.pdf but I have never heard of it otherwise.

It would seem going to the source for the code you're using would be first place to look.

Walter's link shows a call to mktargs() but the function isn't provided; from context and inferring from naming convention it appears to process an input data object arguments; it also is so that there's one place at least in the published code of an undefined variable being passed to the function so, like so often, clearly the published code doesn't completely match the final code used...
