These screenshots illustrate the steps for using NetLogo's BehaviorSpace to run multi-
ple simulations. We edit the baseline experiment (a); observe the input parameters, the
number of repetitions, the output measures, and the time limit (b); run the experiment
and select Table output (c); save the file with an easy name, a nice folder, and a
csv
extension (d); and select the fastest speed with no updates to allow the simulations to
run (e).
To the right of “Repetitions,” we have entered 100, because you typically need at
least 100 repetitions so that the average of the quantitative results do not reflect
outlying individual simulations. However, it takes a long time to run 100 simula-
tions on most normal computers, so you might want to change this to from 100 to
10 here and following since we are only exploring and learning, and not trying to
produce scientific results.
Under the heading “Measure runs using these reporters” we have listed the vari-
ables that we measure in the gray boxes on the interface screen. You will not need
to modify these.
We do not check the box for “Measure runs at every step.”
To the right of “Time Limit” we've entered 28800 which is how many 5-min
intervals are in 100 days.
