Available Plugins

A plugin is a blueprint from which objects are created, just like a class in the object oriented paradigm. It is composed of attributes, displays and methods. The attributes describe the characteristics of a plugin, and thus, each attribute usually represents some specific parameter. The displays shows, on screen, the values of each attribute. Finally, a method is a group of actions that are executed to some specific purpose, like generating forecasts, or estimating parameters.

In this section we describe, individually, and in details, the currently implemented plugins. Our approach intends to be complete, but not exhaustive. For any additional information, the user is advised to use the help command, available to each plugin.

In order to make our exposure as comprehensible as possible, we have decided to separate the plugins into two main categories, according to their use: data manipulation plugins and mathematical model plugins.
