The base directory is './ellipsoid/'. Final run -========= +~~~~~~~~~ Once all the diffusion models have converged, the final run can be executed. This is done by setting the variable DIFF_MODEL to 'final'. This consists of two steps, diffusion tensor model selection, and Monte Carlo simulations. Firstly AIC model selection is used to select between the diffusion tensor models. Monte Carlo simulations are then run solely on this selected diffusion model. Minimisation of the model is bypassed as it is assumed that the model is already fully optimised (if this is not the case the final run is not yet appropriate).
