Results and Analysis

The following sections and subsections relate to testing and exploration of the various models created for this research. These models and names refer to the model names that are presented in the thesis. It is intended that these pages will provide the reader with a deeper understanding of the models by describing key methods and where they can be found along with proving links to the actual Javadoc. Additionally for each section there are links to the actual source code and shapefiles used thus allowing for repetition if so desired.

The results and analysis are broken down my model and then sub models:

Segregation Model:

• Basic Segregation Model
  • Multiple Model Runs
  • Size of Neighbourhood
  • Geographical Features
  • Agents Preferences
  • Variations of the Segregation Model:
  • Add and Remove Model
  • Density Model
  • No Random Searching
  • Initial Area First Model
  • Preferences for Both Model
  • Polygon Model
    • Different Types
  • Models Combined

The Location Model:

• The Effects of Space and Income
• Doubling the amount of Space
• Altering the initial placement of agents
• Comparing the Effect of Small Areas
• The Effect Different Size Areas
• No Small Area Model
• Varying Income
• Adding Agents
• Modelling Top-Down Policy
• Adding Density to the Equation
  • Experiments with Density
