Does running Powell using DLL/Venpy generate '.out' file?

Post by aliakhavan89 »

I can see the .out files being generated when running a cmd file manually. But when I use the same command "MENU>RUN_OPTIMIZE|o" combined with venpy/dll on windows, it generates the .vdfx files but not the .out ones. Is there a way to save the optimized parameters?


On a related note, I want to run MCMC using the optimized values from Powell with dll (I can already do that with a cmd script alone). But I have a hunch that dll doesn't save the 'log' files too. Is that right? is there a way to retrieve that information? I want to use max PSRF values for further analysis later.

Thank you!

The output should be the same. We'll have to take a look. Do you have a test case?
