13   Examining Results

When a Trial pauses for further instructions, and when a Trial has ended, a wide range of results can be viewed and downloaded as charts, and downloaded as data files in .csv format.

These are of three types:

  • Snapshot: This is the current value of the attribute(s) at the time (either the end of a day or the start of a Trial). All Snapshots can be downloaded as .csv files. If a Snapshot is viewed for more than one agent (e.g. all Active Users) then the Snapshot will also be available as a histogram to view and download in .png format.
  • Event History: This is for events happening at particular times during a Trial. By default the period of time is the whole Trial so far, but smaller time ranges can be specified. A list of events can be downloaded in .csv format. If the events change a numeric value (e.g. the price on an Exchange) then a chart of this is also available to view and download in .png format.
  • Daily History: This is for values that have been recorded at the start/end of each day. By default the period of time is the whole Trial so far, but smaller time ranges can be specified. A list of daily values can be downloaded as a .csv file. If the history is for a numeric value (e.g. valuation of the alternative currency) then a chart is also available to view and download in .png format.

All attributes are available for Snapshots and all Simulation and Trial parameters have a complete Event History. However there are some additional Event and Daily Histories available, as listed below.
