Matlab code to reproduce the simulations described in 'Conformist transmission revisited. Population-level frequency dependence is insufficient to evidence individual-level conformist bias'

The main script is “model.m”. To run the various conditions described in the paper is necessary to first uncomment the lines referring to the parameter(s) of the specific condition (from line 18 to line 42), as well as the call to the function of that condition (from line 52 to line 64).

As it is, the simulation runs the condition “Boyd and Richerson original” described in the paper, with D=1. Once uncommented the desired condition, just call *model* from the Matlab command window. All conditions (excluding “Random copying” which can be realised by setting the appropriate parameters in any other condition, for example setting D=0 in “Boyd and Richerson original”, or n_dem=N in “Demonstrators_subgroup”) are in a separate file of the same name.
