Abstract
One of the difficulties of using energy models is the need to choose the weighting parameters for each of their terms. In the simple examples given in the previous chapters, the energy expressions contained parameters that were assumed to be known. In real applications, however, these parameters are always unknown. In this chapter we will describe methods that can be used to estimate these parameters. These are general methods covering a wide range of situations. Nonetheless, the estimation of parameters is still a problem and a drawback of energy-based modeling.
