Parameter vectors
Introduction to parameter vectors
The point of most simulations is to see how a model behaves across different parameter settings. You can accomplish this using what we have learned in glurmo
so far, but it wouldn’t be pretty. You’d have to either create a new simulation for each setting, or use the index
script variable to set parameter settings manually. And at that point, why not just use job arrays? It would be nice if there was a simpler way to accomplish this using glurmo
.
You’ll be happy to know that there is, in fact, a simpler way to accomplish this using glurmo
: parameter vectors. This part of the tutorial will focus on the varied-lm
directory, which (in case you’ve skipped ahead) can be found here.
