I am having trouble with the coding process or steps to extract data from the main and onto the parameter variation experiment in anylogic. I am currently working on total evacuation time due to random fire obstruction.
For now I have successfully obtained the total max evacuation time for 100 runs in my study but I also need another set of data for the number of exits obstructed during each run. My main has the collection (of 3 exits) availableExits and I can see what is obstructed during the simulation.
Furthermore, I would like to obtain data for the number of people evacuating at a particular time (for example number of pedestrians using exit at 120 seconds). I can see this in main from timeMeasureEnd and creating a histogram distribution graph, which shows number of pedestrians escaping at each time. I've managed to create one in parameter variation but when I run the experiment, I am unable to store or view the data as it keeps changing after every run.
Here is the code from analysis Histogram Data which is entered in after simulation run
data = root.timeMeasureEnd.distribution;
i would recommend to add a dataset to your main which would store all the values you want to keep in parameter variation. Dataset differs from histogram data in a way that it doesnt aggregate, it is just a raw array of values, and later you will not have a problem of "aggregating aggregated data".
So, after each simulation run you can access your dataset in main via "root" reference (as you are already doing it) and loop through it to store all the values one by one.

Im currently building a Anylogic model and want to calculate average time spent by customer in different flow paths (I have added the process flow below). In the picture i have named the paths i want to calculate the average time as path A and path B
Anyligic has dedicated blocks for this (although it can be done simply in code).
See in detail here.
The TimeMeasureEnd block contains a dataset.
The following code returns the average of the Y-axis values:
timeMeasureEnd.dataset.getYMean();
Good luck!
Currently, I have two delay blocks above each other, where one agent goes through one of the blocks and the other through the other one.
But when I want exponentially distributed values with a mean of 120 seconds, They both need to have the same value always. So they are done at the same time.
You simply need to have the two delay blocks use their own (but with the same seed) random object.
Start off by creating two identical random objects
And have each of the delay blocks use of them of them
Then the numbers they will sample will be the same for every sampling iteration.
See this post for a similar problem
Why do two flowcharts set up exactly the same end with different results every time the simulation is run even when I use a fixed seed?
Not questioning your probably bad design by not using resources, These are the steps to follow to ensure things happen at the exact same time:
1.Create a variable called seed of type long
2.create a cyclic event that runs every 1 minute and has the following code:
seed=(new Random()).nextLong();
3.In both blocks you will use the following code to calculate the exponential distribution:
exponential(120,0,new Random(seed))
I am using parameter variation in AnyLogic (in a system dynamics model). I am interested in how one parameter changes with the various iterations. The parameter is binary: 0 when supply of water is greater than demand and 1 when supply is lower than demand. The parameters being varied are a given percentage of decrease in outdoor irrigation, a given percentage of decrease in indoor water-use, and a given percentage of households that have rainwater harvesting systems. Visually, I need a time plot where on the x-axis is time (10,950 days; i.e. 30 years) and the binary on the y-axis. This should essentially show which iteration pushes a 1 further into the future.
I have watched videos and seen how histograms and 2D data are used to visualize the results of the iterations, but this does not show which iteration produced which output specifically. Is there a way to first, visually show the output as I have described above and second, return the data for a specific iteration?
Many thanks!
Parameter variation experiments have After Iteration and After Simulation run actions that are executed after each iteration and simulation respectively. Here, it is possible to access the values inside the simulation object after it finished but before it is destroyed. There is also a getCurrentIteration() method which can be used to control the parameter variation experiment and retrieve the data.
For more detail please consult here and see "SIR Agent Based Calibration" example model in AnyLogic example models library (Help -> Example Models).
I am working on the evacuation time of pedestrians by running 100 runs using monte carlo. I have trouble creating the graphs and am very confused in the steps. Something is missing and I am not sure what it is.
I have created a parameter variation experiment page and included a Histogram2D data and a graph from analysis but I don't know how to read the data I want from the main.
Below image is the data I am trying to acquire from the timeMeasureEnd which isn't linked yet.
I use the code
root.timeEnd
but get this error as shown below
You can directly access the timeMeasureEnd's internal dataset: timeMeasureEnd.dataset. See the AnyLogic example model Measuring Length of Stay, referenced in the documentation.
As for your error, your statement gets interpreted as a variable declaration. As soon as you put some useful code in there it works, eg. a simple assignment to a local dataset in your Experiment class:
dataset = root.timeMeasureEnd.dataset;
To save the longest measured time after each run:
add a dataset, deactivate update automatically
add a integer variable iteration to save the current iteration index
use the following in After Simulation run code:
iteration++;
dataset.add(iteration,root.timeMeasureEnd.dataset.getYMax());
I have a simulation with a lot of random components, so I would like to run many simulations and average the results (the result is determined by a variable called score).
How would you do this in Netlogo?
Currently I'm working on a program that will export the results to csv, then I plan to use python/excel to average them. I don't like this because I want to run 100+ simulations (so there will be 100+ files)... I'm hoping there is a better solution
EDIT or an implementation of what I described (I have to relearn enough python/vba to solve this, so it's going to take me some time)
This should be simple enough if you use BehaviorSpace.
In your experiment definition, put score in the Measure runs using these reporters textbox and uncheck Measure run at every step.
When you run your experiment, save your results using Table output. It will produce a csv that you can open in your spreadsheet application. From there, producing an average of the score column should be trivial.
