Code for modeling component of group polarization project presented CogSci 2020 and IC2S2 2020.
Currently the best way to see how we got the results presented in our
Cog Sci 2020 proceedings paper
is to start in the notebooks/ directory.
The two notebooks there generate the data presented in both the papers and talks. From there, follow the
function calls to see how model dynamics and computational experiments are implemented.
The model is based on Flache and Macy's 2011 model in the Journal of Mathematical Sociology, which was used for our 2018 paper on polarization in Complexity.
Please excuse the currently poor state of the documentation; furthermore the code badly needs some refactoring. I so far just yanked code out from the repo for the 2018 Complexity project and have not gotten rid of unused code. For more information please open an issue to ask a question, or send me a message.
