I am simulating a classroom to find the total energy consumption from appliances of a classroom. Now I want to run the simulation in BehaviorSpace so that I get the energy consumption by varying the number of students in the classroom.
to-report energy-calculation
ask lights [ ifelse ( l-on? ) [ set l-energy (light-on-duration * light-wattage) ][
set l-energy 0 ] ]
ask fans [ ifelse ( f-on? ) [ set f-energy ( fan-on-duration * fan-wattage )] [ set f-
energy 0 ] ]
ask acs [ ifelse ( a-on? ) [ set a-energy (ac-on-duration * ac-wattage) ] [ set a-
energy 0 ] ]
let light-e sum [l-energy] of lights
let fan-e sum [f-energy] of fans
let ac-e sum [a-energy] of acs
set t-light ( light-e / (60000))
set t-fan ( fan-e / (60000))
set t-ac ( ac-e / ( 60000 ) )
show (word "sum of ac energy = " ac-e )
report ( t-light + t-fan + t-ac )
end
In the BehaviorSpace: measure runs using these reporters I am putting energy-calculation but in the spreadsheet everything is showing zero. Why is this happening?

The indexing of lists' items starts from 0, hence the third element will have index 2.

You are using the button to run the interact procedure. Here is the beginning of that procedure with comments and printing deleted.
to interact
let selected_agent one-of turtles with [ area = 1 ]
let my_culture culture
The first thing this procedure does is randomly select a turtle and give it the label 'selected_agent'. Then the next line says let my_culture culture but it doesn't say which agent's value of the variable 'culture' to use. Since 'culture' is an agent variable, the only way this line makes sense if it runs from the context of the agent, but you are running from the context of the observer. That's why you get the error.
The way to fix it is to specify which agent's value of culture you want to assign.
let my_culture [culture] of selected_agent
I am trying to represent a multi-scale environment where I have large patches that represent high-value areas in the landscape and smaller patches that have local information. E.g. I want to have snow data at a 1km^2 scale but I also want to have larger patches (9km^2) that summarize large-scale information. Each of my large patches has a variable value that is different from its neighbors but the variable value may be repeated throughout the landscape in other patches. I am looking for the most straightforward way for my turtles to identify the difference between the large-scale patches. I had thought of creating patch-sets but I am not sure how to get around the issue of variable values repeating in different patches. Any help is much appreciated.
EDIT: I have created a raster with equal patch structure as the large-scale raster and assigned "patch-id's" using this, so that there is no longer variable repetition in the world. I am still struggling with getting turtles to identify these larger patches as grouped entities.
You commented on my first answer
My main issue is that I need to run a "find max-one-of
neigboring-large-patches [large-scale-variable]" so I need my turtles
to understand what the neighboring large-patches are and be able to
read them as units, if that makes sense. I can't quite figure out how
to incorporate that into your answer, any thoughts?
Here's how to do that. This code is fast and sloppy but it illustrates the point.
Let the large-regions have x and y values, generated during creation. Basically, these store the column and row numbers of the grid of large regions that covers the viewport.
breed [ large-regions large-region ]
large-regions-own [
terrain
region-color
population
x
y
]
Then, conceptually, the neighbors of a region will have x and y values within +/- 1 of the region's x and y values, so you can identify them that way.
To simplify coding at the expense of space, when I generated the regions I also stored the unique identifier (who) of that region and its x and y values into every patch in that region, in variables lrx and lry.
patches-own [
large-region-who
lrx
lry
]
The heart of finding the neighboring large-region with the max value of population as you requested follows. I coded this for speed in debugging , not for elegance, so it can be greatly cleaned up. The full source code has many print statements that effectively comment each step in solving your requested search.
This looks around (patch 0 0), finds the info on the large region's x and y from that patch, generates an agent-set of large-regions with nearby x and y values, does a max [population] search on that set to extract the region with the highest population. It also colors the asking patch black, the local large-region blue, and the maximum population neighbor red.
It mostly works -- the large regions are offset by one patch from where they should be -- but this illustrates the point. Run setup and go and see for yourself.
Here's the (ugly) code to play with. Interesting problem. You can easily extend this to small regions as well, and have both working at the same time. Enjoy!

This may not be the best way, but I think it would work. You could let regions own several variables, such as "large-region-unique-id" and "small-region-unique-id" and make one pass where you set all these variables. Then a turtle would only have to look at a patch to know what small and large region it is part of.
If you also made a breed of agents called "regions" (say), you could have regions-own variables and have a unique-region-id. ( actually, the agent's who number would work
for that)
That should encode the information so that a moving turtle could easily look up relevant information.
breed [ large-regions large-region ]
large-regions-own [
terrain-type
large-scale-variables
...
(who)
]
breed [ small-regions small-region ]
small-regions-own [
snow-cover
small-scale-variables
...
(who)
]
patches-own [
large-scale-region-who ;; the id (who) of the large-scale-region the patch is in
small-scale-region-who ;; the id (who) of the small-scale-region the patch is in
...
]
Then a turtle could ask a patch for the relevant who information and use it to look up data from the larger "patches".
Here's what that might look like
print (word " hilly region count: " count large-regions with [terrain = "hilly"] )
print (word " deep snow count: " count small-regions with [snow-cover > 75])
;; how about highlighting patches that are mountainous with deep snow?
no-display
ask patches [
set terrain-type ""
set my-snow-cover -1
set srw small-scale-region-who
if srw > 0 [set my-snow-cover [snow-cover] of (small-region srw)]
set lrw large-scale-region-who
if lrw > 0
[ set terrain-type [terrain] of large-region lrw]

[ set pcolor white ]
[ set pcolor black ]
]
display
print " The mountainous terrain with deep snow-cover is shown in white "
I've tried to find a way to do this more neat/more efficient cause I don't believe that I wouldn't be able to achieve the same result more efficient.
I have a csv file containing data with initial states for my turtles. Each row represents values for turtle-owned variables and each column represents an individual turtle. For each turtle, I would like to initialize his variables. At this moment I'm doing it the following way (which works, but to me looks not efficient):

However, in the global HH-data already all my data is present. How could I extract this and assign the turtle variables to each turtle without having to make all these individual for-each statements. I tried a few things like this:
set HH-data (csv:from-file "TestHH.csv" ";")
show HH-data
let numberOfHH length (item 0 HH-data)
create-households numberOfHH
(
foreach (sort households) HH-data
[[?1 ?2] -> ask ?1
[
set xcor ?2
set ycor ?2
set HHsize ?2
set HHcolor ?2
]
]
)
But then I keep getting errors.
Found out myself, while I was writing this question, how to solve it.
Thought it might be useful to others and thus therefore to still post it.
set HH-data (csv:from-file "TestHH.csv" ";")
;;show HH-data
let numberOfHH length (item 0 HH-data)
create-households numberOfHH

foreach (sort households) (item 0 HH-data) (item 1 HH-data) (item 2 HH-data) (item 3 HH-data)

I have a variable:
ask group [set means-one groupmeans + resources-agent ]
I want to ask netlogo to constrain the variable between 1 to 99.
How?
Just to simplify Alan's first answer to remove the if statements:
You could do:
ask group [set means-one (max (list 1 (min (list 99 groupmeans + resources-agent))) ]
Your question is not entirely clear. What do you mean by "change the range"? If you mean to clip extreme values, you can do it like this:
to-report clip [#x #min #max]
if (#x < #min) [report #min]
if (#x > #max) [report #max]
report #x
end
Then you can ask turtles [set means-one clip means-one 1 99]. Otoh, if you actually want to rescale all existing values linearly into your new range, you could do the following:
to rescale-all-means-one
let _newmin 1
let _newmax 99
let _newrange (_newmax - _newmin)
let _lst [means-one] of turtles
let _min min _lst
let _max max _lst
let _range (_max - _min)
ask turtles [
let _scale (means-one - _min) / _range
let _scaled (_newmin + _scale * _newrange)
set means-one _scaled
]
end
