This model simulates household water consumption patterns in an urban environment. Its current setup compares monthly water consumption data, and the results of a daily heuristic water demand model with the simulation results produced by household demographics that is fine tuned via some base demand model. It’s designed to estimate and analyze water demand based on various factors including household demographics, daily routines of residents (working, weekending, vacation patterns), weather conditions (temperature and precipitation), appliance usage patterns, seasonal variations, and special periods such as weekends and holidays. The model aims to help understand how different factors influence residential water consumption and can be used for water demand forecasting and management.

The my-side bias is a well-documented cognitive bias in the evaluation of arguments, in which reasoners in a discussion tend to overvalue arguments that confirm their prior beliefs, while undervaluing arguments that attack their prior beliefs. This agent-based model in Netlogo simulates a group discussion among myside-biased agents, within a Bayesian setting. This model is designed to investigate the effects of the myside bias on the ability of groups to reach a consensus or collectively track the correct answer to a given binary issue.

Model explains both the final state and the dynamics of the development process of the wine sector in the Małopolska region in Poland. Model admits heterogeneous agents (regular farms,large and small vineyards).

This is a stationarity test, it tests whether a given moment is constant during the time series (null hypothesis). The Wald Wolfowitz nonparametric fitness test is applied to time series.

The basic idea behind developing MIXTRUST was to represent a network of agricultural stakeholders composed of farmers and a cooperative in a mixed landscape to test its performances in response to risks. A mixed landscape here is a landscape where crop and livestock systems interact by the intermediary of material flows of agricultural products. It can be within mixed farms, or between farms, often specialized, (e.g. straw-manure).

An agent-based model of how public space conditions shape the collective formation of local sports communities in high-mobility cities. A small gathering is already exercising in an abstract, systematically configurable public space; the model asks how strangers join them and whether the loose gathering consolidates into a stable community. Three conditions are manipulated, each acting through exactly one channel: spatial legibility governs whether a passer-by notices the activity, routine compatibility governs whether a member attends in a given week, and social anchor availability governs how much one episode of co-presence builds a tie. Ties carry a continuous strength with two thresholds, so that relationships of differing strength cross their thresholds at different condition levels. Because the model does not represent the origin of an activity, dissolution is irreversible and survival is a clean binary outcome. Across 32,790 runs in eight experiments the model yields two well separated thresholds along routine compatibility — one for survival, one for consolidation — with a wide band between them in which a space is used continuously but no community forms. The tie submodel is adapted from Jin, Girvan and Newman (2001) and verified against it by docking. Robustness is established against the seeded gathering, the pre-existing social network, a joint ±20 per cent perturbation of the behavioural parameters, and the parameters of the tie machinery.

This model is a small extension (rectangular layout) of Joshua Epstein’s (2001) model on development of thoughtless conformity in an artificial society of agents.

The network-based trust game is a hybridization of both the repeated trust games and the network games.

This model simulate product diffusion on different social network structures.

BarterNet is a platform for modeling early barter networks with the aim of learning how supply and demand for a good determine if traders will learn to use that good as a form of money. Traders use a good as money when they offer to trade for it even if they can’t consume it, but believe that they can subsequently trade it for a good they can consume in the near future.
