RPV Inversion

This software package performs an efficient and accurate inversion of the RPV parametric model against user supplied BRF measurements. It delivers the best estimates for the model parameters along with the associated a-posteriori uncertainties on both state variables and observations. This software collection was developed in collaboration with FastOpt.

Documentation on how to install and use the software is included in the package.
Users are advised to begin with the file README which describes the installation procedure.

Pre-requisites:

• A Fortran 90 compiler. gcc, g95
• 3 routines from Numerical Recipes in Fortran (jacobi,dfpmin,lnsrch) nr.com.
  Instructions for the integration of these routines into the current package are provided in the documentation.
  Other scientific libraries can be used at the cost of adapting the current interface routines.
