This is output from a full run of the simulation (currently about 8mins for 1000 generations). Also this derived from output from every agent that existed and is printed in a random order, this is not one dot one generation. Green is fitness red is number of recessives, black is number of dominants. For some reason i started the population at with lots of recessives instead of lots of dominants, no idea why, I normally do it the other way around 

this is what it should look like theoretically, nice fit, if you consider i've drawn the x-axis differently in two figures

Well I managed to get the binomially distributed mutations right!

Meeting with Jason (04/05/05)

Outcomes of meeting:

A plan of what to put in my literature review
for the interim report

Roughly 15 pages overall, 5 pages on each section.


Three main section

1st: Evolutionary theory and genetics
Use Maynard-Smith (Evolutionary Genetics)
Must discuss: Mutation, inheritance, recombination, genomes and muliple genes, recessive and dominance.
2nd: Zero in on the problem with discussion of behavioural ecology and mate choice
Discuss: The pros and cons of mate choice, why are females choosy, what current strategies to females employ to choose mates
3rd: The computer science side of things
Discuss: IBM's, GA's, give some good examples of when they've been used before, talk about the simulation modelling approach and why it is valid.
