Worskthop Content
What does Pan-DA Mean?
- Our model structure template can be used for both Excel, and also extends into a (developing) R framework.
- This means you can parameterize & develop your model in Excel, but ultimately run the model in R.
- Note that this is a developing framework—you are a very early “Alpha” tester!
