Doubt: Activity Driven Model

[User-DK]

I had a doubt that whether opinion can lie beyond the [-1,1] range because for activity driven model it does happens with this conf file
https://github.com/seldon-code/seldon/blob/main/test/res/10_agents_meanfield_activity.toml

Please if you can run the simulation and check it from the opinion output file.

if its correct then again a thought arises that this test case is passing as okay how ??

seldon/test/test_activity.cpp

Lines 204 to 207 in 3ba2520

	if( above_critical_controversialness )
	REQUIRE( std::abs( agent.data.opinion ) > std::abs( initial_opinion_delta ) );
	else
	REQUIRE( std::abs( agent.data.opinion ) < std::abs( initial_opinion_delta ) );

Hi @User-DK, the opinions in the activity driven model can indeed lie outside the interval [-1.0,1.0]. Initializing them inside this interval is just a useful convention. So I think the the test should be fine

Closing as answered for now :)
