Combines all inputs, including the harmonized cropland, irrigated
area and statistics, and the scores/priors into one GAMS gdx file that can be
used by mapspamc as input. If solve_level = 1, a gdx file for each
administrative level 1 unit is created.'
combine_inputs(param)Object of type mapspamc_par that bundles all mapspamc parameters,
including core model folders, alpha-3 country code, year, spatial
resolution, most detailed level at which subnational statistics are
available, administrative unit level at which the model is solved and type of
model.
The gdx file contains a number of sets and parameter tables that
define the model. Sets describe the dimensions of the model, while
parameters contain the data along these dimensions. As part of the process
to combine all the inputs and if relevant, artificial administrative units
are created that represent the combination of all administrative units per
crop for which subnational statistics are missing. These units are added to
the list of administrative units from the subnational statistics. The names
of these units, stored in the adm_area parameter table, start with the
name of the lower level administrative unit which nests the units with
missing data, followed by ART and the level for which data is missing and
ending with the crop for which data is not available.
