Models are just datastructures and algorithms; presumably, you mean there is an implementation of those, and that the Fed uses that implementation as the 'official' one.

That's fine, but I prefer my models to be language-independent.



How do you have language-independent data structures and algorithms that you can run on a computer?


sorry, I should have made more clear: I want them to publish a model in a file format that can be consumed across a wide range of language. For example, YAML, protobuf, thrift, etc.


That covers the data structures. It doesn't help with the algorithms.


Algebra serves pretty well for that purpose.
