@hrefna Eeek. I think the last modeling I did was with Play-Doh, and advanced modeling was not eating it. 😜
Is it something like a simulation with lots of things interacting? I used to think about these things back in the day when I wanted to write a better Dwarf Fortress simulator. Otherwise I have no idea what you are doing.
@wikicliff Ja. It's a model with about 3000 variables that are all dependent on each other.
The short version is that it is attempting to predict the outcome of the presidential election using a set of priors and then sharpening that information with additional polling.
The slightly longer version is it is an attempt to implement my take on Linzer's paper:
@hrefna That does sound like an interesting model to play with. Unfortunately this 500 character margin is too small... 😜
From a technical/simulation side one also has lots of interesting choices. I might start with prototype object-oriented code, but I also like Entity Component Systems. (I wonder if a lot of ECS-style coding could be adapted for modern GPUs turning nasty/slow control flow into data.) Of course I'm sure you've gone lots of steps past that already. Hope you have fun (or Fun)!
