The following gives a brief description of all files that might be created by the optimizer and when they are created. In each of these runname is the name specified for the run.
| • | runname.out contains the parameters that give the maximum payoff. This file is always created when the optimizer is invoked, and either OPTIMIZE or MULTIPLE_START is active. |
| • | runname_sensitivity.tab contains information about the sensitivity of the payoff to different parameters. This file is created if the :SENSITIVITY option is used. |
| • | runname_startpoint.tab contains the initial optimization points and the corresponding payoffs in tab-delimited format. This file is created if the MULTIPLE_START option is specified. |
| • | runname_startpoint.dat contains the initial optimization points and the corresponding payoffs in a format suitable for Dat2vdf. This file is created if the MULTIPLE_START option is specified. |
| • | runname_trace.dat contains values of the parameters and payoff over the course of an optimization in a format suitable for Dat2vdf. This file is created if the :TRACE option is used. |
| • | runame_trace.tab contains values of the parameters and payoff over the course of an optimization in tab-delimited format. This file is created if the :TRACE option is used. |
| • | runnname_sortsens.tab contains information about the sensitivity of the payoff to different parameters sorted by importance. This file is created if the :SENSITIVITY=ALL_CONSTANTS option is used. |
| • | runname_endpoint.dat contains the final optimization points and the corresponding payoffs in a format suitable for Dat2vdf. This file is created if the MULTIPLE_START option is specified and OPTIMIZER=POWELL. |
| • | runname_endpoint.tab contains the final optimization points and the corresponding payoffs in tab-delimited format. This file is created if the MULTIPLE_START option is specified and OPTIMIZER=POWELL. |
| • | runname_vector.dat contains a list of parameters versus payoffs in a form suitable for use by Dat2vdf. This file is created if MULTIPLE_START=VECTOR and OPTIMIZE=OFF. |
