calibration using basinhopping for microsimulation
Xuan Zhang
Has anyone ever done calibration using basinhopping for microsimulation? If you could kindly send me an example code you successfully used for any of your treeage microsimulation models, it would be greatly appreciated. My email is xuan.zhang@bostonsp.com.

I have the example Python code that uses basinhopping and microsimulation model, which I provided to Xuan. Anyone interested please send me an e-mail to support@treeage.com.
In general calibrating microsimulation models is very CPU time intensive and suffers from inherent noise of the microsimulation results, which challenge the optimization algorithms in finding "adequate" minima.
Al provided me with an example Python code the uses basinhopping for a cohort analysis as well as an example code that uses Nelder-Mead. Thank you Al for the support.
Model calibration example using Python and detail information about installation and running the Python calibration session using Nelder-Mead algorithm can be found at our website by following this link.
Note that a new Calibration feature was added to TreeAge Pro 2020.
