This page contains links to all the modelling code and data sets used within the thesis. It was felt appropriate to provide this material for several reasons. First it is difficult for a modeller to provide a complete description of their model within the word limit of a publication. Therefore this additional resource allows for such a description.
Secondly, the one of the most thorough ways of verifying a model is to re-implement the model thus helping the modeller to become more confident as to the veracity of the model results (Hales et al., 2003). Thus through the availability of the source code allows for repetition and replication -one of the hallmarks of scientific inquiry and is an important facet needed to confirm whether claimed results of a simulation are reliable (i.e. can it be reproduced by someone else). The availability of the source code additionally allows the program to be 'open' therefore allowing modellers to see if there are any errors in the logic of the models or errors from analyzing the results from the simulations.
Furthermore the results and the analysis section have links to specific models presented below and datasets used within each section.
