The Modeling Process – Step 6 Research Issues Is there meaning here?
What does a NetLogo model tell us about the phenomenon? • Does it convince me? • One run • Many runs • Replication • Identifying emergence – self organization • Non-linear laws • New Wealth Distribution
Emergence • From the interaction of the individual components emerges some kind of global property • Something you could not have predicted from what you know of the component parts • The global property (the emergent behavior) feeds back to influence the behavior of the individuals that produced it
Step 6. Analyze the Model • There are NO easy answers to these questions • The answers will differ for every model
NWD 593 – 200 – best land 16% - starvation – employees – inherit
Why did you include randomness in the model? • With randomness, you can get different results with the same settings.
Your understanding can change with each running of the model.
Start up effects • What is the scale? • 100 tickNO easy answers to these questions • The answers will differ for every model
NWD 379 – Start – percent best 16% patch – starvation – employees - inherit
Behavior Space • 1.0 to 2.0 • Does NetLogo cut it? The next step?
