The Stochastic partition equation may be invoked from the Excel formula bar with the following function call:

=mdPartition_StochasticRao(MeanSize as Range, RD as Range, A as Double, c as Double, B as Double, rhop as Double, hf as Double, D as double, hl as Double, t as Double, Optional returnPartitionMetrics as Bool = false)

Invoking the function with no arguments will print Help text associated with the model, including a link to this page.
