Parameter Sweeping introduced in the Robot and Marbles tutorial series

Description

We want to continue the Robot and Marbles tutorial series with a simple tutorial of the Parameter Sweeping feature found in cadCAD.

Parameter Sweeping is a cadCAD feature that runs a model under different possible parameterizations. In a cadCAD model, parameters might refer to intrinsic settings of the system being designed that are still subject to change. They might also refer to assumptions made about properties of the agents that interact with the system, for example. Parameter sweeping is especially helpful in sensitivity analysis, where we are interested in exploring the effects of changing a parameter, or if the desired goals of the system are achieved under a range of assumptions about external agents.

Instructions

1. Fork the Robot and Marbles part 4 notebook and name it Robot and Marbles Part 7 - Parameter Sweeps.
2. Modify it to make use of the Parameter Sweep feature where the robots_probabilities global constant is turned into a parameter to be swept. (Similar to part 6 being a modified fork of part 4 introducing the A/B Testing feature),
3. Compare the results of the sweeps with plots (as was done in Robot and Marbles part 6)

Acceptance Criteria

• robots_probabilities is parameterized
• Variable and function naming conventions match those in the previous robot and marbles tutorials
• The difference in the resulting datasets is clearly visible in the plots
• Plot Style is consistent with earlier robot and marbles tutorials
• The range of the parameter sweep should be appropriate for obvious difference in the resulting datasets
• Documentation assumes readers have completed Parts 1 through 6, and builds on these materials:
• Markdown cells throughout the notebook guiding the reader through the feature
• Code cells contain comments highlighting relevant pieces of the code
