qmm-core 0.3.9

A software platform for analysing the structure and function of complex systems

Qualitative Mathematical Modelling (QMM) in Python

Qualitative Mathematical Modelling (QMM) is a method for analysing the structure of complex systems where general causal relationships are known but precise quantitative data are lacking. By utilising networks (signed digraphs) to visualise system structure, QMM enables users to build models of real-world systems and generate testable predictions of system response to perturbations.

Features

• Python package (qmm) for qualitative mathematical modelling, including core modules for defining model structure, stability analysis, perturbation analysis and making qualitative predictions.
• Integration with an interactive web application for creating signed digraph (network) models representing the mathematical structure of a complex system.

Quick start

1. Install using pip: pip install qmm-core.
2. Create a model using the prototype web application.
3. Analyse your model in Python. See qmm.ipynb for a complete tutorial and example.

Documentation

Detailed documentation for the qmm package and its modules is not currently available.
