−	Parameter objects are used in the LTPDA Toolbox to configure the behaviour of algorithms. A
+
−	parameter (<tt>param</tt>) object has two main properties:
+
−	<ul>
+
−		<li><tt>'key'</tt> &mdash; The parameter name</li>
+
− 		<li><tt>'val'</tt> &mdash; The parameter value</li>
+
−	</ul>
+
−	See <a href="class_desc_param.html">param class</a> for further details. The 'key' property is always stored in upper case. The 'value' of a parameter can be any LTPDA object, as well as most standard MATLAB types.

+
−	Parameter values can take any form: vectors or matrices of numbers; strings; other objects, 
+
−	for example a <tt>specwin</tt> (spectral window) object.
+
−  </p>
+

+
−	Parameters are created using the <tt>param</tt> class constructor. The following code shows 
+
−	how to create a parameter 'a' with a value of 1
+
−  </p>
+
−  <div class="fragment"><pre>
+
−	>> p = param(<span class="string">'a'</span>, 1)
+
−	---- param 1 ----
+
−	key: a
+
−	val: 1

+
−	The contents of a parmeter object can be accessed as follows:
+
−  </p>
+
−  <div class="fragment"><pre>
+
−	>> key = p.key;  <span class="comment">% get the parameter key</span>
+
−	>> val = p.val;  <span class="comment">% get the parameter value</span>
+
−  </pre></div>
