This repository implements the model described in Dowson et al. (2017). A multi-stage stochastic optimization model of a dairy farm. Manuscript in preparation.
The easiest way to run it is via the command line
julia POWDER.jl "model.parameters.json"
Install Julia v0.6.0 and Gurobi v0.7.0.
Once Julia is installed,the following packages are necessary to replicate the results found in the paper: - SDDP.jl at commit b7c3e3f - JuMP.jl v0.18.0 - Gurobi.jl v0.3.3 - JSON.jl v0.13.0
The different stocking rate examples in the paper can be run by modifying the
field "stocking_rate" in the model.parameters.json file.
