Output settings

The following parameters configure whether or not output reports are created for the simulation, such as reports detailing spatial or demographic data at each time step. By default, the InsetChart is always created.

The following figures are examples for the parameter Report_HIV_Period.

When Report_HIV_Period is set to a value that is less than the Simulation_Timestep, a record will be written during the next time step after the reported period. More than one period may occur before the next time step.

Figure 1: Report_HIV_Period < **Simulation_Timestep

When Report_HIV_Period is greater than Simulation_Timestep, a record will be written during the next time step after the period occurs. This means that a record may not be written at all time steps.

Note

Parameters are case-sensitive. For Boolean parameters, set to 1 for true or 0 for false. Minimum, maximum, or default values of “NA” indicate that those values are not applicable for that parameter.

EMOD does not use true defaults; that is, if the dependency relationships indicate that a parameter is required, you must supply a value for it. However, many of the tools used to work with EMOD will use the default values provided below.

JSON format does not permit comments, but you can add “dummy” parameters to add contextual information to your files. Any keys that are not EMOD parameter names will be ignored by the model.

If no events are listed, a “Number of Events” channel will display the total number of all events that occurred during the simulation.

}

Report_HIV_Infection_Stop_Year

Report_HIV_Period

float

30

36500

730

The number of days between records in the HIV_By_Age_And_Gender output report. Output data will only be recorded during a time step, so if Report_HIV_Period is set to a value less than the value set for Simulation_Timestep, more than one period may occur before the next time step. When Report_HIV_Period is greater than the value set for Simulation_Timestep, a record may not be written during each time step. Note that the number of days between records is half the time specified by this parameter. For example, if Report_HIV_Period is set to 40, the actual time between records is 20 days. For best results, use integers for this value.
