This model was created by a student in an effort to make sense of normal distributions. In particular, he sought to understand why height is distributed normally in human populations. For a detailed account of this case, see: Wilensky, U. (1997). What is Normal Anyway? Therapy for Epistemological Anxiety. Educational Studies in Mathematics. Volume 33, No. 2. pp. 171-202. http://ccl.northwestern.edu/cm/papers/normal/. The procedures for this model have been kept largely intact from the original code written by the student. With advances in the language, this code is no longer at all an optimal way of writing this model. We have kept the original code for research purposes -- please do not use it as an example of good NetLogo coding. The model works by analogizing height variations to rabbit hops. A number of rabbits are placed at the center of the bottom of the graphics window. A move pattern determines the way a rabbit moves. Each rabbit can choose to hop right or left a certain hop-size. The likelihood of a rabbit following each move pattern is given in terms of ratios. Each rabbit may have up to five different move patterns. HOW TO USE IT? -------------- Setup Method one (sliders setup): Press SETUP button. This creates the number of rabbits from the NUMBER slider and up to three hops and associated probability ratios from the six sliders above the NUMBER slider. Each time a rabbit hops, it chooses one of the three moves -- hop-1, hop-2, or hop-3 -- with a likelihood in the ratio of ratio-1, ratio-2, and ratio-3 to each other. For example, if ratio-1 = 2, ratio-2 = 4, and ratio-3 = 6, the rabbit has a 2-in-12 chance of making the hop-1 move, a 4-in-12 chance of making the hop-2 move, and a 6-in-12 chance of making the hop-3 move. Method two (manual setup): In the Command Center, type "setup [number] [list of hops [list of probability ratios]" to initialize the rabbits (e.g. "setup 4000 [1 -1] [1 2]" will set up 4000 rabbits hopping either one unit to the right(1) or one unit to the left (-1) with a chance of hopping to the left being twice as much as that to the right.) Up to five steps and corresponding probability ratios can be used. The GO-ONE-HOP button makes each rabbit hop once. The GO button tells the rabbits to hop the number of times set by the HOPS slider. For example, if HOPS is set to 10, the GO button makes each rabbit hop 10 times. To stop the rabbits from hopping once they've started, press the GO button again. There are two scale monitors and one scale slider in the Interface Window. X-SCALING is used to magnify the width of the screen to facilitate more hops. It is manually set by users with the X-SCALING slider. The setting can be changed as the model runs. Y-SCALE is used to regulate the vertical scale -- to ensure that the highest yellow distribution bar is always 80% of the height of the screen. This is done at each hop. The figure inside the "y-scale" monitor is the number of rabbits a screen-size-long yellow line represents. The figure inside the "x-scale" monitor is the number of steps represented by a full screen. (The rabbits wrap the sceen, so if they get to the edge, you should increase the x-scale.) The following formulae can be used to evaluate the actual numbers of rabbits or steps hopped: Actual Number of Rabbits for a Yellow Line = height of line * ( y-scale / 100 ) (To find out exactly how many rabbits are represented by a line, cntl-click (mac) or right-click(other) anywhere on the line and choose inspect patch from the menu that appears. The inspector will have a variable "turtle-bottom" which will tell you how many turtles(rabbits) are at the bottom of the line.) Cumulative Number of Steps Hopped so far = X-coordinate of a line * ( x-scale / 100 ) THINGS TO NOTICE ---------------- The purple average line shows where an average rabbit would be. Observe the movement of this line -- both its position and velocity -- and try to relate these to the settings. Play with the NUMBER slider to see if what you predict is what you see when the number of rabbits is small. For what numbers of rabbits are your predictions the most accurate? THINGS TO TRY ------------- Try different values for list of steps. What happens to the distribution? Try different values for probability ratios. What happens to the distribution? Is the distribution always symmetric? What would you expect? EXTENDING THE MODEL ------------------- Create a plot for 'hopping'. First decide what to plot, and then implement the proper NetLogo plot functions. Rewrite the model so rabbits take list variables. Are there now new capabilities you can give the rabbits? NETLOGO FEATURES ---------------- The limitation on the number of turtles constrains the limits of the "number" slider. You can make the corresponding change to the NUMBER slider - select the slider by clicking and dragging the mouse button over it. Then click on the edit button and change 'Maximum' to the new number. Having more rabbits to jump can be useful for certain statistical simulations. You can also change the settings to have a bigger graphics window to fit more hops or show very fine distribution diagrams. Note that since turtles could not have list variables in earlier versions of the language, the global lists steps and ratios are used to hold the movement patterns and ratios. The turtles access these globals to know how to move. (if we were writing this model now, we would not code it this way as turtles in NetLogo can have list variables). The procedures 'define-steps' and 'define-ratios' use the primitives 'first' and 'butfirst'. Both of these are list operators - that is, they operate on lists of things. The 'first' of a list is simply its first element. Likewise, the 'butfirst' of a list is a list of all elements except for the first.
