Learning Objectives:
Design simple experiments with an agent-based model
Design and implement a simple agent-based model using appropriate commercial or open source development tools
Conduct simple experiments with an agent-based model, analyze results, and evaluate their statistical significance with respect to degrees of freedom, sensitivity analyses, and uncertainty in the model
Describe how measurements on various inputs and outputs of a model can be used to describe model behavior and to relate model outcomes to various initial conditions
Describe how various parameters in an agent-based model can be modified to evaluate the range of behaviors possible with a model specification
Determine if an agent-based model has been run enough times with enough different random number seeds for rigorous inference of its results
