Upload Data
Click "Choose project zip" and select the .zip file that contains your Replicate project. It may take a few seconds for the file to upload.
Once the project has uploaded, the Replicate Runner configuration options will be displayed.

The TSCC generates variants (called replicates) of an existing time series by repetitively 'cycling' the start of the time series to the end. The user can choose whether the data is cycled on a daily, weekly, monthly or annual basis. Table 1 lists the TSCC parameters.
Table 1. TSCC parameters.
| Parameters | Requirement | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Number of Replicates | Required | The number of replicates (output time-series) that will be created |
| Start Cycle Date | Optional | The first data date that will be used by the TSCC to generate the replicates (data prior to this date is cycled to the end of the time series before generating any replicates). This will default to the start date of the input time series, if not specified. |
| Start Year Replicates | Optional | The year that the replicates will be reported as starting in . (The the replicates will always use the same start day and month as the input time-series.)). The Start Year Replicates cannot be after the Source simulation start date, as this will cause the simulation to fail. This will default to the first year of the input time-series, if not specified. |
Example
Consider a daily time-series that spans the following 10 year period: 1/01/2000, 2/01/2000, 3/01/2000, ..., 31/12/2009. The data is used by a model that simulates a 2 year period from 1/1/2004 to 31/12/2005.
Running the TSCC with the following parameters would produce 3 replicates:
- Number of Replicates = 3
- Start Cycle Date = 1/01/20022006
- Start Year Replicates = 20102004
The start date for all the replicates would be reported as 1/01/20102004 (i.e. Start Year Replicates) (and the end date would be 31/12/20192013). The values of the replicates would be as follows:
Replicate 01: the time series values would correspond to the following years of the input original time-series : 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, (2006 is the Start Cycle Date): 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005. The model would simulate the original 2006 to 2007 data (although it would report this as being 2004 to 2005).
Replicate 12: the first year of replicate 0 1 would be moved to the end. Hence, the values of replicate 1 2 would correspond to the following years of the input original time-series: 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006. The model would simulate the original 2007 to 2008 data (and would report this as being 2004 to 2005).
Replicate 23: the first year of replicate 1 2 would be moved to the end. Hence, the values of replicate 2 3 would correspond to the following years of the input original time-series: 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007. The model would simulate the original 2008 to 2009 data (and would report this as being 2004 to 2005).
