Re: Payoff values in MCMC with Stochastic option
It should be summed - I think SO was created with the mindset of policy optimization rather than calibration. A possible response would be to inflate the floor temperature in the MCMC settings to = the number of runs in the ensemble. I'll take a look at the code.

Re: Does Kalman combined with Command Script only handle 16 datasets? (BUG?)
There's a 16-dataset limit for loading into the dataset control. When that's hit, there should be a warning, not a crash.
If you add a CLEARRUNS statement intermittently that should solve the problem.

Re: Why does it produce strange number?
The proximate cause of the FP error is that the real cost ratio becomes large, which causes sales to grow at an astronomical rate. The conceptualization of sales as a stock is conceptually questionable here. Consider, for example, what happens if you fix the real cost ratio at 1.1: sales would grow ...

Re: How do I narrow down the impact of filter?
I think 'S/1e-10/1e-10 is enough. The default assumption for off-diagonal covariance is 0. You only want to specify this term if there's plausible correlation between the noise affecting two states, which is not that common. I'm not fully up on the math, but one situation might be as follows: [stock...

You could set the driving noise for that stock to a very small value (not 0).

Re: export arrayed data with time all in one column
I think "data list" is what you want. You can automate with a command script if you're doing it repeatedly. https://www.vensim.com/documentation/vdf2dlist.html and if you want it to happen after every run, load the cmd script into the pre/post field https://www.vensim.com/documentation/pre...

Re: Modelling small discrete flows
Another workaround would be to change your time unit to 1 hour - then the problem of large flows per fractional time unit goes away (assuming 1hr is enough precision).
You can then define a day as an alternate TIME BASE for display on graph axes, if needed.

Re: Modelling small discrete flows
Multiples of 16 are expected because your time step is 1/16 day. By convention, SD flows are continuous, so 16 people/day causes an accumulation of (16 people/day) * (1/16 day) = 1 person. You can see this in the Euler update for a stock: people in ER = INTEG( admitting-discharging, ...) is implemen...

Re: Modelling small discrete flows
The downside is that Poisson/binomial processes make the model stochastic, so you need to do regular sensitivity runs to appreciate the diversity in behavior.

Re: Modelling small discrete flows
I think to do this right, you need to randomize the small flows rather than accumulating fractional people until you have a whole one.
