Correlated Information Reduces Accuracy of Pioneering Decision-Makers
Megan Stickler, William Ott, Zachary P. Kilpatrick +2
Normative models are often used to describe how humans and animals make decisions. These models treat deliberation as the accumulation of uncertain evidence that terminates with a…
A kinetic theory approach for 2D crowd dynamics with emotional contagion
Daewa Kim, Kaylie O'Connell, William Ott +1
In this paper, we present a computational modeling approach for the dynamics of human crowds, where the spreading of an emotion (specifically fear) has an influence on the pedestri…
Stochastic and Coarse-Grained Two-Dimensional Modeling of Directional Particle Movement
William Ott, Ilya Timofeyev, Thomas Weber
We study the evolution of interacting groups of agents in two-dimensional geometries. We introduce a microscopic stochastic model that includes floor fields modeling the global flo…
