16.9 Other Calc Settings

The Other Calc Settings Tree Preferences category allows you to set a few additional calculation settings.

• Allow probabilities to not sum to 100%: When checked, TreeAge Pro will not generate an error when probabilities do not sum to 100% and analyses will run. We recommend against using this option. Instead, you can set specific Chance and Markov nodes to be non-coherent (by selecting the node and then right-click and choose from the dropdown menu options).

• Max. # allowed stages (cycles): Set the maximum number of cycles for any Markov model.

• Tracker Modification Order: Select the order for tracker modifications to be calculated at a specific node.

• Microsimulation Check: When this option is checked, you will not see the warning when you run Expected Value Calculations on a model with trackers and/or patient level distributions.

When the Tracker Modification Order sorts by ascending priority, the secondary order is forward alpha. When it is by descending priority, the secondary order is by reverse alpha.
