GENPRES multi-method

[Pavlacky]

Hello phidot,

I write to ask for help with an expected value simulation for the multi-method model in GENPRES.

I want to simulate a multi-method model with L = 3 and K = 16.

I listed inputs and outputs for a few of the problems encountered in the text below.

Do you know if recent changes to the multi-scale model in MARK are causing the problem?

Any help identifying the problem will be appreciated.

With Thanks,

David


1) So far I am unable to simulate a model for L > 2. The input file below generates an error message and opens incorrectly with L = 2.

2) So far I am unable to simulate a model for K > 5. I get an error message when I run the following model.

3) I want to simulate the model below, but can't seem to get past issues 1) and 2). The number of sites should be 45, but are N = 37 in the output.
