After any of the threshold tests is met, the StopAt criteria are evaluated for the rest of the scan. There are six threshold tests that you can perform:
1. |
IMin |
I < I_MinThresh |
|
2. |
IMax |
I > I_MaxThresh |
|
3. |
EMin |
E < E_MinThresh |
|
4. |
EMax |
E > E_MaxThresh |
|
5. |
Amin |
A < A_MinThresh |
|
6. |
Amax |
A > A_MinThresh |
Threshold tests allow you to tune the StopAt tests more carefully. For example, you can avoid a premature experiment termination caused by an initial transient.
In general you only enable one of the threshold tests. The others are turned off by a NIL argument in the function call.
NOTE: Any threshold test starts all StopAt tests. Also, when StopAt testing is enabled, it is never disabled, even if the Threshold test that enabled it is no longer valid.
