PEST (Parameter ESTimation) is a general purpose parameter estimation utility developed by John Doherty of Watermark Computing. The nonlinear parameter estimation algorithm used by PEST is uniquely robust and powerful having been developed for use with complex environmental models. The purpose of PEST is to assist in data interpretation, model calibration, and predictive analysis.

GMS provides a custom interface to the PEST utility offering a simple way to set model parameters and a graphical user interface to run the model and visualize the results. The PEST interface in GMS can be used to perform automated parameter estimation for MODFLOW. The steps involved in setting up a PEST run are described in the automated parameter estimation topic. The PEST options are edited by selecting the Parameter Estimation command in the MODFLOW menu and then clicking on the PEST tab.

PEST can be added to a paid edition of GMS, and can be run with parallel processing across one or multiple machines with the Parallel PEST Utility.

MODFLOW/PEST Parameter Estimation Model Wrapper

MODFLOW/PEST Parameter Estimation model wrapper dialog

There are four sections of the MODFLOW/PEST Parameter Estimation model wrapper dialog

The top left section features a graph that shows the model error vs. PEST iteration. To the right of the graph is a spreadsheet showing the model error and the parameter values for each PEST iteration. Below that, in the bottom right section, is another spreadsheet showing the results for each realization (run) and includes the number of PEST iterations, the model error, and the parameter values. In the bottom left section, a text window shows the output PEST prints to the screen when run from the command line.
