Herdlab is an Agent-Based Model which simulates th spread of an infectious disease in a population. There are 3 types of agents: susceptible, represented by blue dots and susceptible to infection; vaccinated, green dots which cannot be infected; and infected the red dots which pass the infection on to the vulnerable agents.
herdlab can be run with between 5 and 7 arguments, in the following form:
herdlab(env_size, vuln_count, vacc_count, infec_count, step_count, plot_control, img_output)
env_size - number, the size of the (square) environment
susc_count - number, initial quantity of vulnerable agents
vacc_count - number, initial quantity of vaccinated agents
infec_count - number, initial quantity of infected agents
step_count - number, number of steps to run the simulation for
plot_control - number, how often to plot the data (0 = final plot only)
quick_stop - bool, whether or not to stop when the number of susceptible/infected drops to 0
img_output - bool, save the plots as jpeg files when they are plotted
Alternatively, run_tests can be run, and it will produce 7 graphs. The parameters for these graphs can be modified within the file run_tests.m.
