Schelling¶

Config¶

class whynot.simulators.schelling.Config[source]¶

Parameterization of the Schelling dynamics.

density = 0.8¶: Agent density

education_boost = -1.0¶: How much education changes homophily

education_pc = 0.0¶: What percentage of agent receive education

height = 10¶: Vertical size of the grid

homophily = 5.0¶: Agent propensity to live near other agents of the same type.

minority_pc = 0.2¶: Fraction of “minority” agents

width = 10¶: Horizontal size of the grid

Experiments¶

Causal experiments for the Schelling model.

whynot.simulators.schelling.experiments.RCT = <whynot.framework.GenericExperiment object>¶: RCT experiment to understand the effect of homophily reduction on total segregation.
