To get started, go to the base directory of the package and run setup('build') from matlab (to compile the code and extend the path. Runnning setup() without arguments only adds the paths.

Most functionality is provided via the qsn class. See help qsn and the help text for the relevant classes (help qsn.QSN, etc.) for further information on how to use the code. The example_* scripts provide some examples for how to use the code. All this code is in the +qsn matlab pacakge directory.

The timing directory contains timing estimation code for reference [2] above.
