Behavior Analysis and Testing Software (BATS)

This is the latest software by Sesdyn. BATS covers functionalities of two previous model analysis software applications by Sesdyn (BTS and SiS) and also introduces new procedures and features. In summary, operations of BATS can be grouped under three categories: behavior input and preprocessing, behavior analysis, and model analysis. Behavior inputting features include reading from external files, drawing a new data, splitting/cropping existing data, extracting selections of data, applying exponential smoothing and moving average filtering techniques. Behavior analysis features include behavior classification, trend regression, autocorrelation, spectral densities, amplitude estimation, cross-correlation, summary statistics, and graphical comparison. Model analysis features include a general purpose model docking window, hypothesis tester, behavior space classifier, and behavior class mapper.

Behavior Validity Testing Software (BTS)

This is a software developed by former SESDYN members for testing the behavioral validity of system dynamics models. It consists of multiple tools and tests suitable for measuring typical dynamic pattern components (slopes, periods, amplitudes, phase shifts, mean, variance, etc) and comparing them with real data when available.

Behavior Validity Testing Software II (BTS-II)

BTS-II is an enhanced version of BTS. It has several new tools and capabilities in addition to all found in BTS. Although we recommend BTS-II, it is still a beta version in the sense that a couple of features may yield unexpected errors in some platforms, and its user guide and help tool are not yet complete.
