| <h1>Create a new Experiment</h1> |
| <p><b>Overview:</b></p> |
| <p>An Experiment is a collection of <i>modifiers </i>with a link to a <b> |
| Scenario</b><br> |
| An experiment can run just like a scenario can run. When you run an experiment |
| it creates a <b>Batch</b><br> |
| A Batch is an executable that spawns off (a sequence of) simulations. The |
| Experiment uses modifiers to make changes to the scenario then run a simulation |
| from each.<br> |
| </p> |
| <p>New View: Active Batches (analogous to Active Simulations)<br> |
| <br> |
| 1) create your scenario<br> |
| <br> |
| 2) in the editor you can create modifiers for models, decorators (a disease |
| model), or graphs.<br> |
| To create a modifier for a disease, for example, find your disease in the STEM |
| Project explorer. Select it, right click on your disease, and chose create a modifier |
| as shown in figure 1. </p> |

| <td><b>Figure 1a: Creating a new modifier for a particular disease in an |
| existing scenario</b></td> |
| <td><b>Figure 1b: Defining the new modifier for an experiment</b></td> |
| </tr> |
| </table> |
| <p> <br> |
| This will launch a new dialog to help you create a modifier that can be added to |
| an experiment (see figure 2). In the new modifier dialog, for example, under Transmission rate select "range" <br> |
| <i>(sequence not yet enabled)</i> and specify the range as shown in figure 2.</p> |
| <p><br> |
| <br> |
| 3) On top, select "Experiment Model" to launch the experiment wizard (Figure 2)<br> |
| drag the scenario into the experiment<br> |
| drag any number of modifiers into the experiment</p> |
| <p>click on the experiment, right click, and run it.</p> |
