Fundamentally, I'm not sure that agent-based modeling amounts to anything other than object-oriented programming for disaggregated simulations --- which is a very useful thing, of course. (I've expanded on this point in my review chapter on methods and techniques of complex systems theory.) I don't do much in this line, but it's important enough in the general area I work in that I feel like I ought to keep track of developments. This notebook is for methodology, not for particular substantive studies which happen to use agent-based models, unless they're exemplary in some way. Has any work at all been done on statistical inference for agent-based models? permanent link for this note RSS feed for this note
