%
% spm_DEM implements a variational Bayes (VB) scheme under the Laplace
% approximation to the conditional densities of states (u), parameters (p)
% and hyperparameters (h) of any analytic nonlinear hierarchical dynamic
% model, with additive Gaussian innovations.  It comprises three
% variational steps (D,E and M) that update the conditional moments of u, p
% and h respectively
%
%                D: qu.u = max <L>q(p,h)
%                E: qp.p = max <L>q(u,h)
%                M: qh.h = max <L>q(u,p)
%
% where qu.u corresponds to the conditional expectation of hidden states x
% and causal states v and so on.  L is the ln p(y,u,p,h|M) under the model
% M. The conditional covariances obtain analytically from the curvature of
% L with respect to u, p and h.
%
% The D-step is embedded in the E-step because q(u) changes with each
% sequential observation.  The dynamical model is transformed into a static
% model using temporal derivatives at each time point.  Continuity of the
% conditional trajectories q(u,t) is assured by a continuous ascent of F(t)
% in generalised co-ordinates.  This means DEM can deconvolve online and
% can represents an alternative to Kalman filtering or alternative Bayesian
% update procedures.
%
%
% To accelerate computations one can specify the nature of the model using
% the field:
%
% M(1).E.linear = 0: full        - evaluates 1st and 2nd derivatives
% M(1).E.linear = 1: linear      - equations are linear in x and v
% M(1).E.linear = 2: bilinear    - equations are linear in x, v and x.v
% M(1).E.linear = 3: nonlinear   - equations are linear in x, v, x.v, and x.x
% M(1).E.linear = 4: full linear - evaluates 1st derivatives (for generalised 
%                                  filtering, where parameters change)
