, fall 2020
This notebook contains built-in, live answer checks! In some exercises you will see a coloured box, which runs a test case on your code, and provides feedback based on the result. Simply edit the code, run it, and the check runs again.
For MIT students: there will also be some additional (secret) test cases that will be run as part of the grading process, and we will look at your notebook and write comments.
Feel free to ask questions!

TODO
In this problem set, we will look at a simple spatial agent-based epidemic model: agents can interact only with other agents that are nearby. (In the previous homework any agent could interact with any other, which is not realistic.)
A simple approach is to use discrete space: each agent lives in one cell of a square grid. For simplicity we will allow no more than one agent in each cell, but this requires some care to design the rules of the model to respect this.
We will adapt some functionality from the previous homework.
TODO
You should copy and paste your code from that homework into this notebook.Exercise 1: Wandering at random in 2D
In this exercise we will implement a random walk on a 2D lattice (grid). At each time step, a walker jumps to a neighbouring position at random (i.e. chosen with uniform probability from the available adjacent positions).
👉 Define an abstract type AbstractWalker
.
👉 Define an abstract type Abstract2DWalker
that is a subtype of AbstractWalker
(using <:
).
👉 Define an struct type Location
that contains integers x
and y
.
👉 Define a struct type Wanderer
that is a subtype of AbstractWalker2D
. It contains a field called position
that is a Location
object.
Wanderer
👉 (i) Check that Julia automatically provides a constructor function Walker2D(position)
that accepts an object of type Location
.
(ii) Construct a Wanderer
located at the origin.

👉 Write a new method Wanderer(x, y)
that takes two integers, Wanderer
at the corresponding position.
accumulate (generic function with 2 methods)
👉 Write a function make_tuple
that takes an object of type Location
and returns the corresponding tuple (x, y)
.
make_tuple (generic function with 1 method)
In the following questions, the functions should take an object of type AbstractWalker2D
(or you can just leave them untyped).
Write a "getter" function
position
that returns the position as aLocation
object.
position (generic function with 1 method)
Write a "setter" function
set_position
that walker and a locationl
and creates a new Walker whose location isl
setposition (generic function with 1 method)
(i) Write a function jump
that returns a possible new position for a walker after a 2D jump as a Location
object.
Jumps are equally likely in the directions right, up, left and down. Diagonal jumps are not allowed.
A nice way to implement this is to write a tuple moves
of possible moves, and call rand
on that tuple to get a random move. Then add the move to the current location.
(ii) Check that your jump
function works and that the jumps are not diagonal.
Write a function
jump
that moves a walker to a new position (it should return a new Walker – the walker at the next time step). What arguments does the function need?

move_walker (generic function with 1 method)
Write a function
trajectory
that calculates a trajectory of a 2D walker of length .
Functional programming pro-tip: Rather than using a for
loop to do this, use accumulate
with move_walker
and n
random moves (created using rand(moves, n)
). Pass init=Wanderer(0,0)
to start accumulate from the origin.

let p = plot(ratio=1) # Create a new plot with aspect ratio 1:1
plot!(p, [(0,0), (0,1), (1,1), (0,1)]) # plot one trajectory

Thoughts fonsi:
We might want to define these types ourselves if the rest of the ntoebook depends on them.
We don't use any other subtypes of AbstractWanderer
, so let's not use AbstractWanderer2D
?
+
instead of jump
?
we don't need all these types, maybe later? If we just use Location
and Movement
then the code is more charming. We can also use tuples instead of Location
Movement
is also a x, y struct. +(::Location, ::Movement)::Location
rand(moves)
reduce(1:T, init=Location(0,0)) do prev_location, _
prev_location + rand(moves)
end
and accumulate
Exercise 2: Wandering agent
In this exercise we will combine our Agent
type from the previous homework with the 2D random walker that we just created, by adding a position to the Agent
type.
👉 Define a type Agent
that is a subtype of AbstractWalker2D
from Exercise 1, since it will behave like a random walker and lives in 2D.
`Agent` should contain a `Location`, as well as a `state` of type `InfectionStatus` (as in Homework 4).)
[For simplicity we will not use a `num_infected` field, but feel free to do so!]
Agents live in a box of side length
, centered at the origin. We need to decide (i.e. model) what happens when they reach the walls of the box (boundaries), in other words what kind of boundary conditions to use.One relatively simple boundary condition is a reflecting boundary:
Each wall of the box is a reflective mirror, modelled using "bounce-back": if the walker tries to jump beyond the wall, it bounces back to the same position that it started from (i.e. the wall is "springy"). That is, it proposes to take a step, but is blocked in that direction, so instead it remains where it is during that step.
Use the method of the
jump
function from above (that proposes a new position) to define a new method for thejump
function, which also accepts a sizeS
and implements reflecting boundary conditions. It returns aLocation
object representing the new position (inside the grid).
move_walker_bounded (generic function with 1 method)
Check that this is working by drawing a trajectory of an
Agent
inside a square box of side length 20,
using your function trajectory
from Exercise 1.
You should draw the boundaries of the box and also a trajectory that is sufficiently long to see what happens at the boundary, but not so long that it fills up the box.
trajectory (generic function with 2 methods)
Exercise 3: Spatial epidemic model – Initialization and visualization
We now have all of the technology in place to simulate an agent-based model in space!
We will impose that at most one agent can be on a given site at all times, modelling the fact that two people cannot be in the same place as one other.
👉 Write a function initialize
that takes parameters
It builds, one by one, a collection of agents, by proposing a position for each one and checking if that position is occupied. If the position is occupied, it should generate another one until it finds a free spot.
Create additional functions that you find useful so that each function is short and self-contained,.
The agents are all susceptible, except one, chosen at random, which is infectious.
`initialize` returns a `Vector` of `Agent`s.
Run your initialization function for
and and store the result in a variableagents
.Write a function
visualize
that takes in a collection of agents as argument. It should plot a point for each agent at its location, coloured according to its status.You can use the keyword argument
c=cs
inside your call to the plotting function to set the colours of points to a vector of integers calledcs
. Don't forget to useratio=1
.Visualize the initial condition you created.
Exercise 4: Spatial epidemic model – Dynamics
Write a function
step!
that does one step of the dynamics:Choose an agent at random, say
.Propose a new neighbouring position for that agent, as above.
If that new position is unoccupied, the agent moves there.
If the new position is occupied, no motion occurs, but there is contact and the infection may be transmitted from agent
to the neighbour that it contacts, with the corresponding probability.Agent
recovers with the corresponding probability.
Write a function
dynamics!
that takes the same parameters asstep!
, together with a number of sweeps.Run the dynamics for the given number of sweeps. (Re-use your
sweep!
function from the previous homework.)Save the state of the whole system, together with the total numbers of
, and individuals, after each sweep, for later use.You may need the function
deepcopy
to copy the state of the whole system.Given one simulation run, write an interactive visualization that shows both the state at time
(usingvisualize
) and the history of , and from time up to time .[You can make two separate plot objects
and or similar, and useplot(p1, p2)
to display them together.]Using
and , experiment with the infection and recovery probabilities until you find an epidemic outbreak. (Take the recovery probability quite small.)For the values that you found in the previous part,
run 50 simulations. Plot
Plot their means with error bars. This should look qualitatively similar to what you saw in the previous homework.
Exercise 5: Effect of socialization
In this exercise we'll modify the simple mixing model. Instead of a constant mixing probability, i.e. a constant probability that any pair of people interact on a given day, we will have a variable probability associated with each agent, modelling the fact that some people are more or less social than others.
👉 Create a new agent type SocialAgent
with fields infection_status
, num_infected
, and social_score
. The attribute social_score
represents an agent's probability of interacting with any other agent in the population.
👉 Create a population of 500 agents, with social_score
s chosen from 10 equally-spaced between 0.1 and 0.5.
👉 Write a new function that can be used in our simulation code to model interactions between these agents. When two agents interact, their social scores are added together and the result is the probability that they interact. Only if they interact is the infection then transmitted with the usual probability.
👉 Plot the SIR curves of the resulting simulation.
👉 Make a scatter plot showing each agent's mixing rate on one axis, and the num_infected
from the simulation in the other axis. How does the mean Run this simulation several times and comment on the results.
Run a simulation for 100 steps, and then apply a "lockdown" where every agent's social score gets multiplied by 0.25, and then run a second simulation which runs on that same population from there. What do you notice? How does changing this factor form 0.25 to other numbers affect things?
Exercise 6 (Extra credit): Effect of distancing
We can use a variant of the above model to investigate the effect of the mis-named "social distancing" (we want people to be socially close, but physically distant).
In this variant, we separate out the two effects "infection" and "movement": an infected agent chooses a neighbouring site, and if it finds a susceptible there then it infects it with probability
Separately, an agent chooses a neighbouring site to move to, and moves there with probability
When
👉 Run the dynamics repeatedly, and plot the sites which become infected.
👉 How does this change as you increase the density
This is basically the site percolation model.
When we increase
