Slots in the MSE object

The MSE object has 29 slots. As it is an S4 object the slots are accessed with the @ symbol, e.g., MSE@Name.

nyears

The number of years for the historical simulation. Single value. Positive integer

proyears

The number of years for the projections - closed loop simulations. Single value. Positive integer

nMPs

Number of management procedures simulation tested. Single value. Positive integer.

MPs

The names of the MPs that were tested. Vector of length nMPs. Character strings.

nsim

Number of simulations. Single value. Positive integer
