Questions #12

I have a couple of questions that I would like to ask:

It seems like the damage coefficients used in the mortality report is in this file: mortality_damage_coefficients_quadratic_IGIA_MC_global_poly4_uclip_sharecombo_SSP3.csv

Question 1: In this file, what does heterogeneity, cons, beta1, beta2, anomalymin, and anomalymax mean?

Question 2: If I am correct that beta1 and beta2 are damage coefficients for mortality, how do I convert these beta1 and beta2 in the CSV file above to the beta1 and beta2 used in the DSCIM (specifically, DSCIM/input/damage_functions/mortality_v1 NC4 files based on discount rates).

For instance, how do I convert beta1 and beta2 in the CSV file above to the beta1 and beta2 in risk_aversion_euler_ramsey_eta1.016_rho0.0_dfc.nc4?

Question 3: Is it possible to change the RCP scenarios for carleton_mortality code?

If yes, then how would I be able to do this?

Do I specify RCP scenarios in 2_projection/2_run_projections/main_specification/configs/mortality-generate-montecarlo.yml? And is this the documentation for how to do this? https://github.com/ClimateImpactLab/impact-calculations/blob/master/docs/generate.md

Thank you in advance for your time.

Re your point about replication, you have to install Anaconda3-2020.02 for it to work, at least for my machine
