Hi everyone,
I have attached a revision to a Vensim model I have been working
with/testing. I created it in the DSS version, but I think PLE can read and
run it. The revised model involves a signal going to two output functions
(via a "gain" function). This revised model solves some of the problems a
reviewer had with my model, but I fear might violate a constraint I have set
for myself. Namely, being consistent with PCT. I am not suggesting that my
model would be the only PCT-consistent model one could construct that
matches the data of my participants (which it does for many of my
participants), but I was hoping Bill could tell me if it is at least one.
BTW, Rick I simply labeled the previously dimensionaless variable what it is
(trial), as opposed to simply "unit." I now get 3 warnings because I use a
dimensioned variable as an argument for a look-up, but I am not sure this is
an error (indeed, it is merely a warning).
I would appreciate any feedback as I am about to send another article to a
journal for review based on this model.
I still must rewrite my previous article because the reviewer thought the
model trivial (I think simple is really what they meant).
Finally, I have to get back to the Pressing article to continue the debate
with Bill and Mary (I trust no one is holding their breath).
Jeff
