Final Project 23 Mar 2013 | 05:33 pm
For the final project you have the option of a programming-oriented or a research-oriented final project. Whichever project you decide to do you must first meet with me to get it approved. Programmin...
Evolutionary Dynamics 27 Feb 2013 | 04:00 pm
Replicator Dynamics are a math formula meant to simplify the dynamics of evolution. But, we can code, we don't have to simplify. In this video I show how to simulate simple evolutionary dynamics with...
Replicator Dynamics Implementation 26 Feb 2013 | 11:22 pm
In tomorrow's lecture I will be talking about replicator dynamics in games. The video below shows you how to implement it:
Fictitious Play 23 Feb 2013 | 05:21 pm
Next week we will finish with cooperative games and start with 'learning in games'. Fictitious play is very easy and fun to implement in NetLogo. See how in this video:
Preferential Attachement Graphs and Stochastic Choice 21 Feb 2013 | 08:23 pm
I noticed in the last homework that some of you had problems getting a preferential attachment graph to work, or making stochastic choice. The video below shows how to do this. This will also be usefu...
HW3: Stability in Cooperative Games 21 Feb 2013 | 03:59 am
We have discussed cooperative games, the core, the nucleolus, and excess. For this homework you will implement a simulation of agents participating in a cooperative game and acting selfishly to join t...
Spatial Prisoner's Dilemma 12 Feb 2013 | 06:30 pm
In the video below I show how to implement the Spatial Prisoner's Dilemma in NetLogo. This game, and variations of it, is often studied as it is a good model of how 'traits' might move through a popul...
Game Theory Famous Games 12 Feb 2013 | 06:00 pm
There are certain 2-player games that come up a lot in the real world and have thus been much studied. They are: The Prisoner's Dilemma: The Battle of the Sexes: The Pig and the Piglet:
Stanford Game Theory Course 11 Feb 2013 | 06:54 pm
If you don't like my lectures you can also take the Stanford Game Theory class offered free by Coursera and taught by some of the same guys that wrote the other Multiagent Systems textbook, Shoham and...
Game Theory Solution Concepts 11 Feb 2013 | 06:03 pm
What is the 'correct' solution to a strategic-form game? Well, there are many viable solution concepts. There is the Pareto Optimal solution (aka 'efficient') There is the social welfare solution: ...
