Users can call *eFAST_analysis.py* or *EET_analysis.py*. These two functions fist create two sampling sets, which are saved in the files called *eFASTparameters.txt* and *EETparameters.txt*. VIC-Res is then fed by the sampling sets. eFAST or EET provide either sensitivity indices (eFAST; in files *SiNSE.txt* and/or *SiTRMSE.txt*) or mean indices (EET; in files *miNSE.txt* and/or *miTRMSE.txt*).

The function automatic calibration is stored in *autocalibration.py*; its configuration file is named *reservoircalibration.txt*. The results are stored in *calibration_objectives.txt* and *calibration_variables.txt*.

The automatic calibration is implemented using **multi-objective evolutionary algorithms** for two calibration strategies:
The configuration is organized similarly to the sensitivity analysis configuration file. However, the parameters of the reservoir operating rules are not taken into account in this case.

As for the objective functions, users can choose among the Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE), which measures the model accuracy primarily during high-flow periods; Box-Cox Transformed Root Mean Squared Error (TRMSE), which accounts for low-flow periods; Runoff COefficient Error (ROCE), which accounts for the long-term water balance; and Mean Squared Derivative Error (MSDE), an indicator of the fit of the hydrograph shape.
