“…In addition to the ability to facilitate the development and use of increasingly sophisticated ABMs, there have also been methodological improvements for both improving ABMs as well as analyzing the output of simulation experiments utilizing them (Figure ). These developments include work on uncertainty quantification in ABMs (Marino, Hogue, Ray, & Kirschner, ), sensitivity analysis in ABMs (Alam et al, ), methods for increasing the computational efficiency of ABMs via “tuneable resolution” (Kirschner, Hunt, Marino, Fallahi‐Sichani, & Linderman, ), the use of Bayesian statistical model checking for parameter estimation in ABMs (Hussain et al, ), the use of optimization algorithms in conjunction with ABMs (Cicchese, Pienaar, Kirschner, & Linderman, ; R. C. Cockrell & An, ), the use of HPC (C. Cockrell & An, ; R. C. Cockrell & An, ; R. C. Cockrell et al, ; Petersen et al, ; Seekhao et al, ), strategies for data‐driven model validation (Renardy et al, ), and the incorporation of model‐based dynamic control discovery (R. C. Cockrell & An, ; Petersen et al, ). These are exciting developments that have, without a doubt, increased the range of biomedical problems and applications to which ABMs could be applied.…”
