In this paper we study the minority game in the presence of evolution. In particular, we examine the behavior in games in which the dimension of the strategy space, m, is the same for all agents and fixed for all time. We find that for all values of m, not too large, evolution results in a...

We continue our study of evolution in minority games by examining games in which agents with poorly performing strategies can trade in their strategies for new ones from a different strategy space. In the context of the games discussed in this paper, this means allowing for strategies that use...

In this paper we show that significant advantages can be realized by using functions of simple variables, such as time lags, as directions in reconstruction spaces for complicated time series. First, we show that more sensitive model specification tests can be constructed when the candidate...

In this paper, we present a simple stock market model (the market game) which incorporates, as ab initio dynamics delayed majority dynamics, according to which agents (with heterogeneous strategies and price expectations) are rewarded if their actions at time t are the actions of the majority of...

In many social and biological systems, agents compete for limited resources over an extended, connected network, but at any moment compete for resources semi-locally using incomplete, private information. To understand such systems, it is important to understand the nature of competition for...

In the standard minority game, each agent in the minority group receives the same payoff regardless of the size of the minority group. Of great interest for real social and biological systems are cases in which the payoffs to members of the minority group depend on the size of the minority...

The use of object-orientation for both spatial data and spatial process models facilitates their integration, which can allow exploration and explanation of spatial-temporal phenomena. In order to better understand how tight coupling might proceed and to evaluate the possible functional and...
