(scalePPS*L2)))^ (1/shapePPS). The random number is the same, however,
as it was copied over when the attributes were initially lled in. With these
additions, the MetaMin entities worksheet looks like Figure 4.32.
In specialized DES software, assigning the time of death to each entity
follows the same process as for PFS. First, the three coefcients for the
equation are stored in global variables iBetaSexPPS, iBetaAgePPS, and iBet-
aLDHPPS, as are the Weibull parameters iScalePFS and iShapePFS, and the
effect of MetaMin in aHRPPS (Figure4.33).
