Size-distribution scaling in clusters of allelomimetic agents
Abstract
The allelomimesis clustering model is based on only two parameters: a local parameter α that represents the probability of nearest-neighbor copying and a global parameter p that represents the fraction of unresponsive agents. The model results into the formation of clusters of agents, the sizes of which obey a distribution that is determined by the values of α and p. Several experimental data are fitted by tuning the two parameters. In particular, the significance of the value of α that corresponds to an experimental data is discussed and is justified according to behavioral context. Recommendations for possible extensions of the model are also enumerated.
