GC6-5 - Encoding agent-based models
- 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
