Comparative Analysis As is often (always) the case, one is interested to see outcomes under different scenarios. Two ways to conduct comparative analysis • Use multiple GAMS submissions or multiple solvesgenerating report writing output and then manually comparing the analysis results • Use the GAMS LOOP procedure and set up a comparative scenario analysis system that creates cross scenario comparison tables
Scenarios What if one has a RAP (risk aversion parameter) of “1.5” or “5.0”?
Multiple GAMS Submissions Report writing commands use values from the most recent solution.
Increasing run efficiency using theSave and Restartprocedure. We can associate a set of execution time parameters with a file Save work files: s = .\t\a1 Restart work files: r = .\t\a1 (1) (2)
