Code and datasets of the dissertation 'Behaviour and Stability of Interconnected Systems: From Biological Applications to Opinion Dynamics'

This .zip file contains the code and data necessary to reproduce the results presented in the PhD dissertation 'Behaviour and Stability of Interconnected Systems: From Biological Applications to Opinion Dynamics'. The code is divided in five directories. Each directory has instructions on how to reproduce the corresponding results. The README also provides information on how to run the code.There is also a Excel file that explains the contents and origin of the most relevant datasets. The broad research objective is to undercover the mechanisms of opinion formation in large-scale populations. To do this, different opinion formation models are simulated, the resulting data gathered and analysed. All the code is in .m Matlab scripts, and the data is in .mat Matlab files.

本压缩包包含复现博士学位论文《互联系统的行为与稳定性：从生物应用到舆论动力学（Behaviour and Stability of Interconnected Systems: From Biological Applications to Opinion Dynamics）》中展示的研究结果所需的全部代码与数据。代码分为五个目录，每个目录均附有复现对应结果的操作指引。README文件亦提供了代码的运行方法说明。另有一份Excel文件，用于阐释核心相关数据集的内容与来源。本研究的总体目标为揭示大规模群体的舆论形成机制：为此，我们对多款不同的舆论形成模型开展仿真实验，并对生成的数据进行收集与分析。所有代码均为后缀为.m的Matlab脚本，数据则存储为.mat格式的Matlab数据文件。
