Working with an agent-based model? Start with a vision—but stay flexible!

As your model evolves, check what it’s actually revealing. Your original plan might not hold up, but new and unexpected insights could open better paths forward.

Naïve #AgentBasedModel #simulation of prey-predator dynamics written in plain #Python (just uses the built-in packages and runs on PyDroids). Noce exercise in OO programming, it was invented for that purpose after all...

This was my first #AgentBasedModel (from a few years ago). It captures a mechanism in which employment shifts between industries. I’ve been meaning to either replicate it in another programming language or create a comparable alternative. #MacroeconomicModel #ZeroDebtMacroeconomicModel #threeIndustryMacroEconomicModel #java #openSource #ABCE #agentBasedModeling #agentBasedComputationalEconomics

A Macroeconomic Model of a Closed Economy

This model/program presents a "three industry model" that may be particularly useful for macroeconomic simulations. The main purpose of this...

Got some weird results, checked my code... found a <= that should have been a >= at line 560 of a 995 line #rstats #AgentBasedModel. Bad: all work today in the bin. Good: 1) found the error before too much damage, 2) #evolution still happens in the way we understand it to.

Dear mastodon followers,

Thank you for enduring my promotional materials. Let's get back to gifs!

lots of love,

#creativecoding + #agentbasedmodel

Been having fun the last few weeks programming a new abstract #AgentBasedModel to explore risk/resilience in past forager populations. I think all ABMers have found this, but It is tricky tuning the environment to be a challenge but not killing the whole population outright. 😅 ☠️
