In the basic first order positive feedback model:
(one stock, one flow to it and a parameter gives the flow rate).
There is a stock
with initial value of 100
, a parameter
with the value of 0.1
and the formula of the flow
is:
(
flow = stock * paremeter
)
Model time units are "years"
and we want to run the simulation for 100 years
.
The value of the stock
over the years will be 100
, 110
, 121
, 133.1
, 146.41
...
But the values of the stock
over time on the simulation screen (or when I put it into a Time Plot or Data set) are 110.517
, 122.139
, 134.984
, 149.179
.
Why are the values of the
stock
over time are different than the expected ones above?How can I track the value of the stock over years correctly?
