OR-Tools: VRPTW with resource constraints and without solution - or-tools

I'm trying to test example of VRPTW with depot usage constraint -
from here.
If I change VehicleNumber on different value(for example from 4 to 6), solution will never be found. This example only works with the specified property values. Why?
I checked C# and Python examples, result is the same.

Because the problem is over constrained with 6 vehicles.
This code creates one interval per vehicle. These intervals have a fixed duration and a maximum end time. 4 such intervals fit in the allowed time, 6 do not.

tbl_regression (gtsummary) ordering covariables levels and processing time

Originally in my df, I had my BMI in numeric format(1-5), which I recoded (underweigh to obese), factored and choose a specific reference using relevel (Normal, originally 3). Then did a logistic regression: y~ BMI+other covariates. My questions are the following :
1- When I plug my logistic in tbl_regression, the levels have undesired orders (underweight, obese1, obese 2, overweight) . Is there a way to rearrange the levels the way I want to (underweight, overweight, obese 1, obese 2)?
2- I used tbl_regression on a small data set which went ok. My new model, however, is based on 3M observation and 13 variables (the database is 1Gb). This time my tbl_regression is taking about 1h to process and out put the table, which is not normal since I have a fast laptop. Is there a way to make this more efficient ? I tried keeping the model only while using tbl_regression and removed the database, but it is still hellishly long. I tried with the trial data and it was ok..
1 - I recommend using contrasts() to set the reference level. The relevel() function just moves a factor level to the first position. Examples here Is there a way to relevel a variable in gtsummary after generating the beautiful table?
2 - I suspect with such a large model, the confidence interval calculation is what is slowing you down. If you see a big difference in the computation times of summary() and broom::tidy() with the CI calculation compared to tbl_regression(), please create an illustrative example (that anyone can run locally) and it can be looked into further.

Why Add Disjunction in VRP solver Not Working As Expected?

cross posted from OR-tools google group
I am working with a multi-vehicle VRP with due dates over 5 periods (ex. some nodes are due at time t=0, so I give them a penalty cost of 10000 and 1000 for all other nodes, etc. till period 4). Initially I followed the exact steps as laid out here with "AddDisjunction" to set priorities for certain nodes, and so expected that the solution would always pick up more, rather than less, nodes. However, in my example code , you'll see that the solver is dropping multiple nodes with smaller demand and picking up nodes with larger demand instead. I came across this same issue when working on a single-vehicle problem, but I was able to use AddSoftSameVehicleConstraint as a workaround.
My code here: I would direct you to the cell titled "Basic SVRP" onwards; the cells prior are for data generation. The most important thing in the output is that, all nodes starting with "a" or "b" are only of demand 1-2 units, while "c" and "d" are of demands between 4-8 units. Therefore, I should ideally see nodes of "a" and "b" only dropped as a last resort.
Any help here to rectify this would be greatly appreciated, happy to simplify/clarify where needed.

How to make a parameter only count once in Anylogic model during simulation?

I am having a hard time trying to solve a very easy issue I can imagine, but I just can't see it.
Namely, I am building a dynamic simulation model which calculates accumulated costs and benefits.
However, I have introduced a 5 year time span for the model but there are certain costs and benefits which occur only once (in the first year for example). But currently, the model is using these parameters in each simulation for every year. How can model it such that these values are only taken into the simulation once?
Surely there is some kind of formula which could help me with this. The AnyLogic support page did not help me either.
For applying values that change over time, you should use a "Dynamic Variable" object and set it to 0 after one year as follows (assuming "999" is replaced yb whatever value you want):

Compare values from now and 2 hours ago and how the difference

As can be see from the chart below we have a sensor that is recording pressure. The pressure has dropped 2 points within 2 hours. If this drops 2 points within 2 hours, this causes us some problems. I would like to create a query that compares the values from now and 2 hours in the past and display the difference. How can i achieve this in influx query language?
You are best off using a derivative and depending on the exact response, either derivateive or non negative to see rate of change:

Youd set the unit to 2h (it defaults to 1s)
Thanks

Is the Rate in the source block a fixed rate?

I have a simple source to sink model and I am merely altering the "Rate" to 6 per hour. I would expect a fixed 6 agents to be generated each hour, but it seems like in the first hour from 0 to 60min, only 3 agents are generated. Similarly in the time 60-120min, only 5 agents were generated.
Is there a warm up period in Anylogic or something like this that explains what is happening?
Another alternative is to just use the interarrival time with a fixed time. This will give you the same results as Felipe's answer, but with one less object, as you will not need the event.
A few important items to note on this approach:
Instead of 6.0, using a parameter would be better. You could call this parameter dArrivalsPerHour. This would make your source block easier to read in the future, and give you some better flexibility. Your interarrival time would be 1.0 / dArrivalsPerHour.
Make sure you divide by at least (1) double. If you did 1/6, java would actually return 0! This is because in Java two integers divided by each other returns an integer, so java just truncates the decimal. If you use a parameter, just set its type to double. Usually to be extra careful against anyone accidentally changing my parameter type to integer in the future, I would still go ahead and use a 1.0.
AnyLogic does not have an arrival at time zero in this approach. The first arrival would be at 0.166 hours. If you want an arrival at time zero, followed by this pattern (it would still be 6 per hour, just shifting when it starts), then you have a couple of options. First, you can use Felipe's approach and set the first occurrence time to zero. An alternative would be to could call an inject On Startup OR after you have finished any initialization code your model has.
Happy Modeling!
The source block doesn't produce exactly 6 agents per hour, it produces agents using a poisson distribution with mean 6 per hour (lambda=6). So the number of agents per hour you get will be random. But the reason why you always get 3 in the first hour and 5 in the second hour is that you have a fixed seed:
You can find that option clicking on your simulation experiment under the randomness tab. If you change to random seed it will produce different agents per hour instead of always 3 and 5.
To produce EXACTLY 6 per hours you need to use an event. But first create a source that generates agents through injection:
And the event running 6 times per hour, adding 1 agent to the source:
