There is a model embedded in a web browser (Caprio 1998) that I would like to use in an MCMC algorithm. What is the best way to do this?I could implement the model in my favorite language but I would like to know if it is possible to either write a web-scraping / mechanize script to evaluates the model and dumps the output into a file, or somehow capture the existing model implementation as a desktop executable.The interface is fairly straightforward:And I envision a script that takes the parameters in the fields on the left side as inputs, and returns the results provided in the right column of fields as outputs: ./runmodel.sh 0.001 0.002 1 0.04 0.001 1.0 1.0 0.5 0 > model.outCan I efficiently do this using the current implementation (in Java 1.0), or should I just start from scratch?Caprio, MA (1998) The evolution of resistance: a simple deterministic model. http://web.archive.org/web/20011118202519/http://www.msstate.edu/Entomology/PGjava/ILSImodel.html
