Run NetLogo application

  1. Run NetLogo application. In File menu, use the Models Library option to find IABM Textbook -> chapter 3 -> Segregation Extensions. There is a simulation called Segregation Simple. Double click on this model to run it.
  2. In the Segregation Simple model, use the Info tab to understand what this model is and how to use it. For this model, answer the following questions and save your answer in a Word file:

What happens when you run the model with the default settings? Run it a few times. What do you notice? (2 points)
Keep the population number the same, but change the %-similar-wanted value to run the model at various conditions. At what % -similar-wanted does the model not converge any more? In other words, the model vacillates, and does not stop (or takes a very long time to stop). (1 point)
Now that you find the %-similar-wanted at which the model does not converge, does it make a difference if you keep the %similar-wanted but change the population number? do the vacillating patterns persist? (2 points)

  1. In the NetLogo -> File menu -> Models Library -> IABM Textbook -> chapter 3 -> Segregation Extensions, there are three Segregation Simple Extensions. For Extension 1 and Extension 2, use the Info tab to understand what this model is and how to use it. Then answer the following questions for each extension using the following format and save your answer in the same Word file used in Step 2 above:
