Simulating rabbit population growth, with replicate experiments, given a few factors:
- number of replicates
- female to male ratio
- litters per year
- kitten per litter
- kit-birth death rate
- maximum age
- range of possible values for maturity threshold
- female infertility rate
- general mortality rates depending on age
- size of female fertility window
- rudimentary predator role: predator to prey ratio, rate of monthly kills per predator, thresholds
This program then estimates a mean final population count for the given duration, and uses variance and t-distribution to determine a 99% confidence interval for a true mean for said final count.
The resulting data will be found in /data_results after execution
This program uses MersenneTwisterFast (doc)
for pseudorandom number generation.
The default values for the aforementioned factors may be perused here, along with the instructions.
The report can be found here
Needs further optimization, please be aware that these rabbits breed like... uh ... llamas or something. There may
be situations where predators can't keep them down, which means the population will keep growing exponentially, which
means iterating through the model's run function will keep taking exponentially more time. This program prevents
populations from rising above Integer.MAX_VALUE
