replaceNames (Model)

Replace model names with some other names

Syntax

model = replaceNames(model, oldNames, newNames)

Input arguments

model [ Model ]

Model object in which some names (variables, shocks, parameters) will be replaced with new names.

oldNames [ string ]

List of existing model names that will be replace with newNames.

newNames [ string ]

List of new names that will replace the oldNames in the model. The lenght of the newNames list must be the same as oldNames. The new names must be such that the entire list of all the model names after replacement has all names unique.

Output arguments

model [ Model ]

Model object with the newNames assigned.

Description

Use this function to rename some of the model names (variables, shocks, parameters). The replacement affects the names under which model quantities are being assigned, read in from input databanks, or written out to output databanks in functions like Model/simulate. The internal representation of the model variables, shocks and parameters in the model equations is independent of their names.

Examples

Run the same univariate model for multiple variables
