match
*****

.. note::

  Only applies to the ``@nplot`` command.

Specifies how to match compound stimuli in the stimulus-response history to the ``@nplot`` input.

If the simulation does not contain any compound stimuli, this parameter has no effect.

Syntax
------

::

  match = exact
  match = subset

Default
-------

``subset``

Description
-----------

``match = subset`` will make ``@nplot`` count compound stimuli in the stimulus-response history that are supersets of the 
``@nplot`` input.

----

``match = exact`` will make ``@nplot`` count only compound stimuli in the stimulus-response history that exactly matches the 
``@nplot`` input.


Example
-------

If the history is

::

  e1 -> b1 -> e1,e2 -> b2 -> e1,e2,e3 -> b3

and

::

  match = subset

then

::

  @nplot e1

will count both e1, (e1,e2), and (e1,e2,e3) in the plot, and

::

  @nplot e1,e2

will count both (e1,e2) and (e1,e2,e3).

Example
-------

If the history is

::

  e1 -> b1 -> e1,e2 -> b2 -> e1,e2,e3 -> b3

and

::

  match = exact

then

::

  @nplot e1

will count only e1, and

::

  @nplot e1,e2

will count only (e1, e2).
