Abstract:An agent-based model (ABM) is a computational model in which the local interactions of autonomous agents with each other and with their environment give rise to global properties within a given domain. As the detail and complexity of these models has grown, so too has the computational expense of running several simulations to perform sensitivity analysis and evaluate long-term model behavior. Here, we generalize a framework for mathematically formalizing ABMs to explicitly incorporate features commonly found … Show more
