sens_apsimx: Sensitivity Analysis for APSIM Next Generation simulation

In apsimx: Inspect, Read, Edit and Run 'APSIM' "Next Generation" and 'APSIM' Classic

Sensitivity Analysis for APSIM Next Generation simulation

Description

It is a wrapper for running APSIM-X and evaluating different parameters values

Summary computes variance-based sensitivity indexes from an object of class ‘sens_apsim’

Usage

sens_apsimx(
  file,
  src.dir = ".",
  parm.paths,
  convert,
  replacement,
  grid,
  summary = c("mean", "max", "var", "sd", "none"),
  root,
  verbose = TRUE,
  ...
)

## S3 method for class 'sens_apsim'
summary(object, ..., scale = FALSE, select = "all")

Arguments

file	file name to be run (the extension .apsimx is optional)
src.dir	directory containing the .apsimx file to be run (defaults to the current directory)
parm.paths	absolute or relative paths of the coefficients to be evaluated. It is recommended that you use inspect_apsimx for this
convert	(logical) This argument is needed if there is a need to pass a vector instead of a single value. The vector can be passed as a character string (separated by spaces) and it will be converted to a numeric vector. It should be either TRUE or FALSE for each parameter.
replacement	TRUE or FALSE for each parameter. Indicating whether it is part of the ‘replacement’ component. Its length should be equal to the length or ‘parm.paths’.
grid	grid of parameter values for the evaluation. It can be a data.frame.
summary	function name to use to summarize the output to be a sinlge row (default is the mean).
root	root argument for edit_apsimx_replacement
verbose	whether to print progress in percent and elapsed time.
...	additional arguments (none used at the moment)
object	object of class ‘sens_apsim’
scale	if all inputs are numeric it is better to scale them. The default is FALSE as some inputs might be characters or factors. In this case all inputs will be treated as factors in the sum of squares decomposition.
select	option for selecting specific variables in the APSIM output. It will be treated as a regular expression

Value

object of class ‘sens_apsim’, but really just a list with results from the evaluations.

prints to console

Note

The summary function is stored as an attribute of the data frame ‘grid.sims’.
