View the estimated values of the original parameters over the optimization iterations starting with the initial values at zero; see the plot below. Alternatively, you can save the parameter values for a certain iteration to a mat-file and access them with with a matlab script. The latter may be useful if you have problems with your initial values when attempting to run the posterior mode estimation.
