  • Introduction

    • This report covers progress in the period 2006-07-27 to 2006-08-17.

  • Summary

    • A major logic error has been discovered which rubbishes all previously generated results.
    • Running using MSOA constraints is taking too long with the current parameters or there is a bug in the program that needs to be tracked down...
    • The codebase has been refactored:
      • Unused methods have been removed.
      • Names of methods and parameters have been standardised.
      • All parameters that are set are now done so in top level methods and then passed through the program to where they are used.
    • javadocs have been greatly improved.
    • MoSeS 2001 UK Demographic Initialisation Page updated.

  • Details

    • The logic error involved male totals being compared with female totals and vicea versa in the optimisation. This has now been fixed.
    • During this phase of code refactoring, the entire process has been run again.
      • CASDataHandler.run() can be called to load source data and aggregate it to MSOA level.
    • It is probably best not to write any more detail and instead focus effort on developing MoSeS 2001 UK Demographic Initialisation Page Version 0.1.0
