The command @run¶
The command @run
starts a simulation. It takes as input the name(s) of the phase(s) that should
be used, in that order:
@run phase_name
or:
@run phase_name1, phase_name2, ...
With multiple runs, one may label the different @run
commands to be able to
refer to them in postprocessing:
@run phase_name runlabel:run1
...
@run phase_name runlabel:run2
Multiple runs¶
The simulation depends on the value of a number of parameters, such as
n_subjects
, mechanism
, etc. It will use the values that are set at the point of the @run
command.
In other words, it is possible to re-set the value of a parameter and perform a @run
again. In a script
with several @run
commands, use the label runlabel
to label a @run
command:
n_subjects = 10
@run phase_name runlabel:ten_individuals
n_subjects = 100
@run phase_name runlabel:hundred_individuals
These labels (ten_individuals
and hundred_individuals
) can then be used in the postprocessing stage in order to, for example,
plot the data from the simulation with ten individuals, or from the simulation with 100 individuals:
runlabel = ten_individuals
@vplot e->b # Plots the associative strength betweeen e and b in the simulation with 10 individuals
runlabel = hundred_individuals
@vplot e->b # Plots the associative strength betweeen e and b in the simulation with 100 individuals
