difference between gcal.ty and GCAL collector #698

Open dancehours opened 3 years ago

dancehours commented 3 years ago

Dear Bednar,

I run both of the two models, one is from gcal.ty in the directory /topographica/models/stevens.jn13/ in this website, another one is from GCAL collector tutorial, by using GCAL collector to produce maps. I would like to ask, if there is a difference between them. Do they produce the same results ?

You tell me! :-) You should be able to see if they produce the same maps and connection fields by plotting them at the same iteration. The one in jn13 corresponds to the Stevens et al. published model, but other versions you may find may have slight parameter changes or other differences. You can do a script_repr() on each loaded model to see what those parameter differences might be.

Thanks for your answer! Recently load_snapshot function doesn't work for me well. I will look into that in the near future.
