Calibration in Vensim - Tutorial

[moralening]

Greetings Group,

By any chance does anyone know of a video or a book which explains how to calibrate a Vensim model using actual data with modelled data. I did see Professor Nathaniel Osgood Vensim calibration video on youtube however it is a poor quality video now and it's hard to understand.

I also saw the documentation in the Vensim site however two of the links are not working from the provided model in the site thus; it is unclear.

Please help me understand this concept or point me in the right direction via a book or training.

Thank you.

Link to the nonworking page? We'll fix it.

Tom I understand please see below:

This is the main site for the calibration documentation.
https://www.vensim.com/documentation/21295.htm

The following links below don't work from the main site noted above: UserGuide\chap18\calibrat

https://www.vensim.com/documentation/Mo ... /CALIBRAT/

The following links below don't work: Complete

Thank you Tom & Vensim Team for addressing and hoping to learn how to calibrate the data with actual data and thus calibrate Vensim model output.

Kind regards,

Lening

You'll find the models in the Vensim directory on your hard drive - users\public\Vensim on Windows.

Copy I understand are these the models in reference from the site:

https://www.vensim.com/documentation/Mo ... /CALIBRAT/

I didn't know the links were models I thought it was a description on how to calibrate...

[moralening]

Is there a reference book with more details on how to do the calibration to include Kalman filtering or which of the Vensim courses offers this training e.g. beginning, intermediate or advanced?

I'm familiar on how to use Vensim but need more guidance on the functions for the items mentioned above.

Thank you.
