Parameters
population
| Name | Type | Default | Range | Doc |
|---|---|---|---|---|
model | string | lotkavolterra | lotkavolterra | rosenzweig | sir | seir | ricker | Predator and prey, the same with a carrying capacity, two epidemics, or one population as a map. |
growth | float | 1 | 0 … 4 | How fast the prey or the population grows. `ricker` folds into chaos above about 2.7. |
capacity | float | 1 | 0.01 … 10 | How much the environment holds. `rosenzweig` and `ricker` read it. |
predation | float | 1 | 0 … 10 | Attack rate for the predator models, and the infection rate for the epidemics. |
efficiency | float | 0.5 | 0 … 2 | How much of what is eaten becomes predator. The epidemics ignore it. |
mortality | float | 0.5 | 0 … 5 | Predator death rate, and the recovery rate for the epidemics. |
handling | float | 0.5 | 0 … 5 | How long a predator spends on each catch, which is what saturates it. `rosenzweig` alone reads it. |
incubation | float | 0.2 | 0 … 5 | How fast the exposed become infectious. `seir` alone reads it. |
sim
| Name | Type | Default | Range | Doc |
|---|---|---|---|---|
dt | float | 0.01 | 0.000001 … 0.5 | Model seconds per step. `ricker` is a map and ignores it. |
reset | pulse | null | Start the model over. |
output
| Name | Type | Default | Range | Doc |
|---|---|---|---|---|
mode | string | value | value | block | `value` emits the state now; `block` emits every step since the last frame, which is a signal. |
sfreq | float | 200 | 1 … 10000 | Steps per second of real time, and the sample rate of an emitted block. |
