piegy

The package full name is: Payoff-Driven Stochastic Spatial Model for Evolutionary Game Theory. "pi" refers to "payoff, and "egy" is taken from "Evolutionary Game Theory".

Provides a stochastic spatial model for simulating the interaction and evolution of two species in either 1D or 2D space, as well as analytic tools.

Installation

To install piegy, run the following in terminal:

pip install piegy

How the Model Works

Our model can be summarized as "classical evolutionary game theory endowed with spatial structure and payoff-driven migration rules". Consider two species, predators and preys (denoted by U and V), in a rectangular region. We divide the region into N by M patches and simulate their interaction within a patch by classical game theory (i.e., payoff matrices and carrying capacity). Interactions across patches are simulated by payoff-driven migration rules. An individual migrates to a neighboring patch with probability weighted by payoff in the neighbors.

We use the Gillepie algorithm as the fundamental event-selection algorithm. At each time step, one event is selected and let happen; and the step size is continuous, dependent on the current state in the space. Data are recorded every some specified time interval.

Analytic Tools

The piegy package also provides a wide range of analytic and supportive tools alongside the main model, such as plotting, numerical tools, data saving & reading, etc. We also provide the piegy.videos module for more direct visualizations such as how population distribution change over time.

C Core

From version 2 on, the piegy simulations are now equipped with a C core, which makes it significantly faster than previous versions.

Examples

To get started, simply get our demo model and run simulation:

from piegy import simulation, figures
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

mod = simulation.demo_model()
simulation.run(mod)

fig1, ax1 = plt.subplots()
figures.UV_dyna(mod, ax1)
fig2, ax2 = plt.subplots(1, 2, figsize = (12.8, 4.8))
figures.UV_hmap(mod, ax2[0], ax2[1])

The figures reveal population dynamics and steady state population distribution.
