Case study 4. Model selection with EQL. We present the average selected model equations for 〈CABM(t)〉 over various values of Pp. For each value of Pp, we set Pd = Pp/2 and Pm = 1. ABM output is averaged over N = 50 ABM simulations of the BDM model to ensure convergence to mean behaviour. The right-most column lists how many votes the selected equation received out of 100 total.
| Pp | Pd | selected model | votes (out of 100) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0.005 | 0.0025 | dC/dt = −0.00245C + 0.00485C(1 − C) | 57 |
| 0.01 | 0.005 | dC/dt = −0.00483C + 0.00952C(1 − C) | 77 |
| 0.05 | 0.025 | dC/dt = −0.02482C + 0.04936C(1 − FC) | 93 |
| 0.1 | 0.05 | dC/dt = −0.04966C + 0.09874C(1 − FC) | 100 |
| 0.5 | 0.25 | dC/dt = −0.25248C + 0.50271C(1 − FC) | 100 |
