• Agent Based Model of the Spread of a Virus
• Matt Wade

2
Purpose

• To determine if staying home because you are sick
  and might spread the disease is a valid excuse

3
Inputs

• Number of sick and healthy agents
• Number of different classes
• Number of steps
• Variables to be graphed

4
Outputs

• Number of infections and recoveries
• Number of sick and healthy agents
• Number of steps
• Graph

5
Major Changes

• Graph scaling fixed
• Minor bug fixes
• Researched data added to make the simulation more
  accurate

6
Graphing

• Choice of 6 variables for the x and y axes
• Scales along both axes
• Displays scale
• Still have problems with the y axis labels

Results

• Two different results gained.
• One using exact research value for
  infectionchance, other using that value
  multiplied by two.
• Exact value the virus dies out without infecting
  anyone.
• Muliplied value the number of sick agents hovers
  around 100 out of 2000.
