pest2hydroPSO: Import PEST input files to hydroPSO

In hydroPSO: Particle Swarm Optimisation, with Focus on Environmental Models

Description

This function imports the PEST input files (a master ‘.pst’ and its corresponding ‘.tpl’ and ‘.ins’) into hydroPSO (‘ParamRanges.txt’ and ‘ParamFiles.txt’)

Usage

pest2hydroPSO(pst.fname, drty.pest=NULL, drty.model=NULL, drty.out="PSO.in",
              param.files="ParamFiles.txt", param.ranges="ParamRanges.txt",
              decimals=5, verbose=TRUE)

Arguments

pst.fname	character, with name of the PEST input file (‘.pst’), which contains all the information regarding parameters, observations and template files (‘.tpl’ and ‘.ins’) used by PEST
drty.pest	character, path to the executable file of PEST. ALL the files required to run PEST with the model have to be located within this directory (‘.tpl’ and ‘.ins’) Default value is NULL, which assigns to drty.pest the parent directory of pst.fname
drty.model	character, path to the executable file of the model specified in exe.fname. ALL the files required to run the model have to be located within this directory Default value is NULL, which assigns to drty.pest the parent directory of pst.fname
drty.out	character, name of the directory that will store all the output files produced by this function Default value is ‘PSO.in’, which creteas a directory called ‘PSO.in’ within the parent directory of pst.fname
param.files	character, name of the output file that will store the location and names of the model files that have to be modified for each parameter subject to calibration with hydroPSO. By default this file is called ‘ParamFiles.txt’ and -if the full path it is not specified- it is searched for within the ‘PSO.in’ subdirectory of drty.model
param.ranges	character, name of the output file defining the minimum and maximum boundary values for each one of the parameters to be calibrated with hydroPSO. By default this file is called ‘ParamRanges.txt’ and -if the full path it is not specified- it is searched for within the ‘PSO.in’ subdirectory of drty.model
decimals	character, model command line arguments to be entered through a prompted string to execute the user-defined model
verbose	logical, indicates if progress messages are to be printed. By default verbose=TRUE

Value

Two input files for hydroPSO:

param.files	plain text file with the location and names of the model files that have to be modified for each parameter subject to calibration with hydroPSO
param.ranges	plain text file defining the minimum and maximum boundary values for each one of the parameters to be calibrated with hydroPSO
