The Replicate Analysis run configuration in Source allows users to run the same model scenario multiple times using input time series replication. The replicate analysis functionality uses a cycled input data concept in which the data for the first year in the simulation is shifted progressively by a year or selected year increments. In this way multiple instances of any Source model are run using data from the model input files using the cycled data concept and to allow extraction of results for the replicates. This is useful when the user wants to get an idea of the risk associated with the decision variables. For instance, 'Replicate Analysis' is can be used to assess the risk of spill in reservoirs under varying input climate conditions.
