Description

this PR makes the median trajectory deterministic which should be less surprising behavior. From the updates.md:

Several users were surprised that the median curve is quite variable from run to run despite the parameter inputs being deterministic. The underlying reason for this behavior is that the app samples parameters from the parameter ranges and plots the median of this often small sample. Since these parameters affect exponential growth, small variation in the sample can result in large variation in the output. We now generate an additional trajectory where each parameter is set to its median value. This trajectory should behave like the median trajectory in a large sample and is plotted instead of the sample median.

Impacted Areas in the application

algorithm and inititialization.

Testing

check behavior of the model for various locales.
