MODEST code

Modest modelling and estimation package source code.

Folders in this repository:

modlib	modest library src
nmlio	nmlio executable src
mdstmcmc	modest mcmc library src
mcmcf90	copy of mcmcrun library src
lapack	copy of reference lapack
odepack	odepack library from netlib
boxo	modest test model

Folder mcmcf90 is a copy from [https://github.com/mjlaine/mcmcf90]. The odepack library is a copy from https://netlib.org/odepack with added Makefile, modified directory structure, as well as some auxiliary error handling files.

This version compiles one main modest library that also contains reference implementation of LAPACK and BLAS from Reference LAPACK.

Building the modest library

You need a linux machine or similar and gfortran compiler to build the modest library.

Each folder has a separate Makefile for building the code. The Makefile in the main folder builds all libraries. Command make install builds everything and copies libmodest.a to /usr/local/lib.

Folder boxo can be used for testing:

cd boxo
make
make run

Everything in one session:

git clone --recurse-submodules http://github.com/mjlaine/modest
cd modest
make install
cd boxo
make run

Using a docker container

The provided Dockerfile can be used to build a docker container that compiles the modest library and can be used to run modest programs.

Building modest container:

docker build --rm -t modest .

Or directly from github (no nothing needs to be downloaded before):

docker build --rm -t modest https://github.com/mjlaine/modest.git

Quick test run:

docker run --rm -it modest sh -c 'cp -r /opt/modest/boxo . && make -C boxo run'

Start an interactive shell and mount current directory to sub directory work inside the container:

docker run --rm -it -h modest -v $(pwd):/home/modest/work modest

Everything in one session:

docker build --rm -t modest https://github.com/mjlaine/modest.git
docker run --rm -it -h modest modest
cp -r /opt/modest/boxo .
make -C boxo run

Or, if you want to download the Dockerfile first:

wget http://github.com/mjlaine/modest/blob/master/Dockerfile
docker build --rm -t modest .
