Alphabetical Listing of Settings

Settings are arguments or parameters used to pass data to FOMUS for processing. There are a lot of them, but only a few of them are essential or even important for most users. The most useful ones are listed below--many of the ones that aren't on this list are there to provide some way of tweaking FOMUS's decisions or turning various decision-making algorithms on and off. Setting values can be passed to the FOMUS function as keyword/argument pairs or bound as special variables, the names of which are derived by surrounding the symbol names with asterisks. All of the variables are exported symbols in the FOMUS package.

See Initialization File for an explanation of how to modify default values for any of these settings.
