The SPSD/M comes with a powerful software support environment designed to enhance the range, speed and ease of policy analysis in both black-box and glass-box modes of use. The comprehensive and flexible set of outputs allow for detailed verification of algorithms and results. The software has been designed to work in an integrated fashion at many different family levels (e.g.household, census family, individual, etc.). A user-friendly interface allows the analyst to view and modify parameters, run simulations and examine results. An on-line help facility provides information on the use of the model dialogue as well as a handy reference to variable and parameter descriptions and lists. Some highlights of the model software are given below.
