Evaluate NeurEco Discrete Dynamic model with the command line interface
==========================================================================

To perform an evaluation, run the following command in the terminal:

.. code-block:: shell

	neurecoRNN evaluate path/to/evaluation/configuration/file/eval.conf
	
The skeleton of evaluation file eval.conf looks as follows:

.. code-block:: javascript
   :linenos:

    {
    "neurecoRNN_evaluate": {
        "exc_filenames": [],
        "init_output_filenames": [],
        "init_exc_filenames": [],
        "ernn_filename": "",
        "write_model_output_to_directory": ""
    }
    }

Its fields should be filled accordingly.	

| The available evaluation parameters in the configuration file are described in the following table.
