**Specification**

- *Alias:* None

- *Arguments:* None


**Description**


Dakota supports a :ref:`library-linked interface to Matlab <advint:existingdirect>`, but it must be
explicitly enabled when compiling Dakota from source.  Contact the
Dakota users mailing list for assistance building and using Dakota
with these interfaces.

The :ref:`interface-analysis_drivers<interface-analysis_drivers>` specifies a Matlab file which
implements the parameter to response mapping.
