This Excel 97 spreadsheet file is called vpriskx1.xls (326 KB).
This spreadsheet was used to generate the correlated statistics used in Appendix II,
Spreadsheet 2.
This spreadsheet is separated from Spreadsheet 2 for simulation performance reasons. Select a region worksheet to see how the temperature statistics were generated.
The following software and hardware are REQUIRED to run the Vibrio parahaemolyticus Risk Assessment (VpRA) computer model.
This Excel 97 spreadsheet file is called vpriskx2.xls (149 KB). In a typical run, the cells E44, G44, H44, and I44 were selected as @Risk "outputs" and the simulation settings were set with iterations at 100,000 and simulations at 50.
New uncertainty parameters are brought in to the spreadsheet using the macro "TotalUncert". Add this macro to the simulations settings to be executed after a simulation run.
The following software and hardware are REQUIRED to run the Vibrio parahaemolyticus Risk Assessment (VpRA) computer model.
* Help Downloading and Using Compressed ZIP and EXE files. There is no other "Help Facility" associated with this computer model. There is no "Help Desk" available to call and ask for explanation, instruction, or assistance.
** If @Risk software is not loaded onto the computer, then numeric values will not appear in the cells of the Excel spreadsheet. The label #NAME? will appear in the cells of the spreadsheets. It will be of minimal value to run the computer model without @Risk already loaded onto the computer. @Risk is a product of the Palisade Corporation (www.palisade.com). Use of @Risk, or any other software product, in this risk model should not be construed as an endorsement of such products by the FDA.
