How to create a variable calculating rate in STELLA model?

11 February 2015 1 9K Report

For example, a growth rate using a standard exponential form r = Ln(Nt/No)/t. This would require using a value for population size from a previous time step and I am not sure how to do that.

anyone? rates are quite common in many models...
