Overview of the task

  1. Specify the
  2. Verify the implementation.

Details

This involves a lot of steps--remember to save intermediate results to session files!

Act 1: Specify the subset

On the CellBuilder's Subsets page, create the subset.

Act 2: Specify the distance metric

Do this with a SubsetDomainIterator.

Act 3: Specify the parameters that depend on distance

Do this on the CellBuilder's Biophysics page.

Intermezzo

Time to step back and see where we are.
At this point, name_x "knows" these things:

But it doesn't know the functional relationships between the parameters and the distance metric--and each parameter can have its own function. Defining these functions is the next item to take care of.

Act 4: Specify the functional relationship between each parameter and the distance metric

Finale trionfale

Turn on Continuous Create, and use Model View to verify the channel distributions.
