Team shows good understanding of concepts and has done good research.
Good verification of accuracy of program.  A difficult problem to

Nice, through report.  When presenting your results, statements like
"it worked correctly" are hard to evaluate  unless you give us some
sort of data/figure/graph to help us see that your statement is valid.

You are on your way to becoming a fine social scientist and are proving
that that is not a contradiction in terms.  While this particular study
really does not necessitate the use of a supercomputer, larger sampling
arrays would.  Nice job in combining multiple interests and disciplines;
sound use of scientific process and a novel topic.

Couldn't you simplify your code to a single linear equation?

An interesting addition would be to add weather affects to
