Population Variable Density

Changing the population size to investigate behavior across scales within a static arena size. This criteria is functionally identical to Population Size in terms of changes to the template XML file, but has a different semantic meaning which can make generated deliverables more immediately understandable, depending on the context of what is being investigated (e.g., population density vs. population size on the X axis).

Note

This criteria is for variable density of robots as population sizes increase. For constant robot density, use Population Constant Density.

Cmdline Syntax

population_variable_density.{density_min}.{density_max}.C{cardinality}

• density_min - <integer>p<integer> (i.e. 5p0 for 5.0)

• density_max - <integer>p<integer> (i.e. 5p0 for 5.0)

• cardinality How many experiments should be generated? Densities for each experiment will be linearly spaced between the min and max densities.

Examples

• population_variable_density.1p0.4p0.C4: Densities of 1.0,2.0,3.0,4.0.
