Input Mode

Post by johnjohnson4 »

How do you use Input Mode in PLE+? I am trying to create exponential decay for a stock variable. Can I use Exponential Input Mode with an output flow variable for this purpose? if so, how would that look?

Thanks,

I'm not sure what you mean by "input mode".

The conventional way to implement exponential growth is:

stock = INTEG( - outflow, initial stock ) ~ stuff
outflow = stock * loss rate ~ stuff/time

or

outflow = stock / lifetime
