PESTPP-MOU with risk - decision variables not in risk stack

[RyanConway91]

I am running PESTPP-MOU using a risk objective. I provided a parameter stack from a PESTPP-IES run. However, this ensemble does not have my MOU decision variables (which are the pumping rates of potential future pumping/injection wells). When I fire up PESTPP-MOU I get this:

Obviously, risk and my well rates were not in my PESTPP-IES calibration.

I could do random uniform distribution sampling to get these parameters into my IES ensemble, but the risk and well rates will meaningless/wrong, right?

I think the mention "forgive" at the bottom of your screen shot means mou should have kept going (and generated the initial population from a uniform distribution...). Did it keep going?

[RyanConway91]

Yes, it kept going. It's not an issue that risk and the decvars are nonsense/random in the risk stack?

[jtwhite79]

Correct - mou is supposed to "forgive" an stack from ies that only has adj pars and not decvars...supposed to...

Got it, thanks!
