These set up the files for a Kalman filtered simulation, which is turned on with SIMULATE>KALMAN. They apply to the next simulation.
•SIMULATE>KALMANPAYOFF|payfile names the payoff definition (.vpd) the filter uses for its measurements. If none is given, Vensim uses the file from SIMULATE>PAYOFF and says so.
•SIMULATE>KALMANPARAMETER|prmfile names the Kalman parameter file. The default is kalman.prm. Its contents are described in Kalman.prm format & keywords.
•SIMULATE>KALMANSTEPS|n sets how many forecast error files the payoff report writes. See SIMULATE>REPORT.
If filtering is on and either file is missing, Vensim reports it and makes an ordinary simulation. See Kalman Filtering.
