   Given:

      method   a string providing parameters defining
               the computation method to use.

               [1,c1] = size(method); char = class(method)

                  or

               [1,1] = size(method); cell = class(method)

               The only currently supported choice:

                  &quot;Ellipsoid&quot;   The intercept computation uses
                                a triaxial ellipsoid to model
                                the surface of t
