It is necessary to have installed the folowing packages: numpy, networkX and matplotlib
python -m pip install --user numpy matplotlib networkx
The following command runs the project:
python main.py
You can have additional arguments when running. Running the flag -h produces the following output:
python main.py -h
usage: main.py [-h] [-tp TYPE] [-thold THRESHOLD] [-o ONES] [-t TWOS]
[-d DIMENSION]
Computer simulation of the Schelling model
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-tp TYPE, --type TYPE
Type of the representation of the model (either matrix
or scalefree)
-thold THRESHOLD, --threshold THRESHOLD
Threshold desired
-o ONES, --ones ONES Percentage of agents belonging to race one
-t TWOS, --twos TWOS Percentage of agents belonging to race two
-d DIMENSION, --dimension DIMENSION
Percentage of agents belonging to race two
The defaults are : type=matrix, threshold=0.3, ones=0.4, twos=0.4, dimension=50.
For either the matrix or the graph, the number of entries or nodes is given by dimension * dimension.
The percentages and the threshold must be between 0 and 1.
