Here is a post in the Winboard forum with some explanation: http://f11.parsimony.net/forum16635/messages/18447.htm There may be a sort of simulated annealing approach. Clearly, the parameters may interact. However, as I iterate through the parameters from one depth to the next, I keep the minimum calculated for the previous parameter. So (in theory) I might be seeking a gradient towards an optimum. Of course, I might be totally screwed up, since I don't really know how the parameters might interact, or even if they combat each other.
