چکیده

1. Most importantly, they call attention to the need for replication of computational models. 2. They point out the importance of publishing source code and/or making the code publicly available. 3. They highlight the need for papers to have as much detail as possible about model assumptions, within the constraints of length (which has the additional benefit of keeping models simple enough to be explained in a few pages). 4. They point out details of our model that are inadequately explained in the paper. 5. They report monotonic effects of mobility on trust that are actually stronger than our own for the explanation we proposed for cross-cultural differences in trust—that mobility is higher in the U.S. than Japan.

Remark on a Reply

1.1 In their original PNAS article Macy and Sato (2002) make it clear that their main point concerns social mobility (see, for instance, the abstract and the last section). Their central claim is the non-monotonic effect of mobility: with moderate mobility, they maintain, trust can be established; with too much mobility, trust and trustworthiness are undermined — and therefore their "warning fl...

On the Hegselmann-Krause conjecture in opinion dynamics

We give an elementary proof of a conjecture by Hegselmann and Krause in opinion dynamics, concerning a symmetric bounded confidence interval model: If there is a truth and all individuals take each other seriously by a positive amount bounded away from zero, then all truth seekers will converge to the truth. Here truth seekers are the individuals which are attracted by the truth by a positive a...

How to reply to referees' comments when submitting manuscripts for publication

Background: The publication of articles in peer-reviewed scientific journals is a fairly complex and stepwise process that involves responding to referees’ comments. Little guidance is available in the biomedical literature on how to deal with such comments. Objective: The objective of this article is to provide guidance to notice writers on dealing with peer review comments in a way that maxim...

Optimal control of the convergence time in the Hegselmann-Krause dynamics

We study the optimal control problem of minimizing the convergence time in the discrete Hegselmann– Krause model of opinion dynamics. The underlying model is extended with a set of strategic agents that can freely place their opinion at every time step. Indeed, if suitably coordinated, the strategic agents can significantly lower the convergence time of an instance of the Hegselmann–Krause mode...

Oliver Will and Rainer Hegselmann ( 2008 ) A Replication That Failed : On the Computational Model in

The article describes how and why we failed to replicate main effects of a computational model that Michael Macy and Yoshimichi Sato published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (May 2002). The model is meant to answer a fundamental question about social life: Why, when and how is it possible to build trust with distant people? Based on their model, Macy and Sato warn the US...
