The scalar description describes what the variable is used for:<\/p>\n

\"easydelta_panel_scalar_description\"<\/p>\n

\n

Scalar Value:<\/h3>\n

A Scalar Value<\/em> starts at “Initial Value<\/em>” for the first calculation and it is incremented by “Step Value<\/em>” in each subsequent calculation.<\/p>\n

For example, if the Initial Value<\/em> is 1 and the Step Value<\/em> is 1, then the series “1,2,3,4,5,6…” would be generated.<\/p>\n

The Modulo Count<\/em> is used to determine when the series should be reset. For example, if the Modulo Count<\/em> is set to two, the series: 1,2,1,2,1,2 would be generated.<\/p>\n

\"easydelta_panel_scalar_options1\"<\/p>\n

\n

Value Vector:<\/h3>\n

A Value Vector<\/em> is a vector of values which specifies the exact values for the Delta Parameter<\/em>:<\/p>\n

\"easydelta_panel_scalar_options2\"<\/p>\n

In this illustration, the Value Vector<\/em> contains two values: 2.5e-7 and 5.0e-7.<\/p>\n

Because Modulo Count<\/em> is set to two, the values of the series would be:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • 1st Value = 2.5e-7<\/li>\n
  • 2nd Value = 5.0e-7<\/li>\n
  • 3rd Value = 2.5e-7<\/li>\n
  • 4th Value = 5.0e-7<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Hence, if the scalar was associated with the value of LAMBDA for a source, then the values for LAMBDA would be:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • 1st LAMBDA Value = 2.5e-7<\/li>\n
    • 2nd LAMBDA Value = 5.0e-7<\/li>\n
    • 3rd LAMBDA Value = 2.5e-7<\/li>\n
    • 4th LAMBDA Value = 5.0e-7<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n

      Monte Carlo – Uniform<\/h3>\n

      Uniformly distributed random values within the specified range.<\/p>\n

      Using Objects Initial Value:<\/h4>\n

      \"easydelta_panel_scalar_options3.1\"<\/p>\n

      In this illustration the +\/- value is set to 1e-7 so if the object’s initial value is 5e-7, then during the simulation the variable would have uniformly distributed random values between 4e-7 and 6e-7<\/p>\n

      Using a Minimum and Maximum:<\/h4>\n

      \"easydelta_panel_scalar_options4.2\"<\/p>\n

      In this illustration the Minimum is set to 3e-7 and the Maximum is set to 5e-7 so during the simulation the variable will have uniformly distributed random values between 3e-7 and 5e-7<\/p>\n

      \n

      Monte Carlo – Gaussian<\/h3>\n

      Random values with a gaussian curve for a histogram<\/p>\n

      \"histogram\"<\/p>\n

      \nUsing the Object’s Initial Value for the Mean<\/h4>\n

      \"easydelta_panel_scalar_options4.1\"<\/p>\n

      In this illustration sigma is set to 1e-7 so if the object’s initial value is 5e-7, then during the simulation the variable will have Gaussian curve distributed random values with a mean of 5e-7 and a standard deviation of 1e-7<\/p>\n

      Specifying a Mean<\/h4>\n

      \"easydelta_panel_scalar_options4.2\"<\/p>\n

      In this illustration sigma is set to 1e-7 and the mean is set to 6e-7 so during the simulation the variable will have Gaussian curve distributed random values with a mean of 6e-7 and a standard deviation of 1e-7<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
