Optimisation output

If the parameter optimisation option is chosen, AutoCal produces a result file that contains the results of the optimisation. The file is named MyAutocal­Run_Optimisation.dat and is saved in the working directory. The result file is tab delimited and can be directly imported into a spreadsheet.

In the log file a summary of the optimisation results is written, including the best parameter set and corresponding objective function value for each itera­tion loop.

When the stopping criterion of the optimisation run is met, AutoCal performs a final model run using the optimised parameters. The result of this run is written in the last line of the MyAutocalRun.dat file. The model parameter files contain the optimised parameter values.

The results using the optimised parameter set is performed in model sub-folder _Process1.
