Holistically Evaluating Agent Based Social System Models
The philosophical perspectives on model evaluation can be broadly classified into reductionist/logical positivist and relativist/holistic. In this paper, we outline some of our past efforts in, and challenges faced during, evaluating models of social systems with cognitively detailed agents. Owing to richness in the model, we argue that the holistic approach and consequent continuous improvemen...
متن کاملIntegrating Agent-Based Social Models And Biophysical Models
Spatially and temporally explicit simulation modelling of natural resource management systems provides a framework to draw together in a mathematically unambiguous manner a wealth of information, and, as such, allows rigorous testing of hypotheses of how such systems can be changed, without the time, expense and moral implications of altering a real system. In recent years, a large number of in...
متن کاملAgent-Based Models and Simulations in Economics and Social Sciences
Now that complex Agent-Based Models and computer simulations spread over economics and social sciences as in most sciences of complex systems -, epistemological puzzles (re)emerge. We introduce new epistemological concepts so as to show to what extent authors are right when they focus on some empirical, instrumental or conceptual significance of their model or simulation. By distinguishing betw...
متن کاملSignatures in Networks Generated from Agent-based Social Simulation Models
Finding suitable analysis techniques for networks generated from social processes is a difficult task when the population changes over time. Traditional social network analysis measures may not work in such circumstances. It is argued that agent-based social networks should not be constrained by a priori assumptions about the evolved network and/or the analysis techniques. In most agent-based s...
متن کاملAssessing agent-based models in the social sciences
Agent-based models appear strange to many social scientists, and especially to economists. In general, they lack explicit analytical solutions and rely instead on simulation to discover their properties. Individual agents are usually heterogeneous, defying simple, easily generalizable descriptions. Probabilistic behaviour of such agents is normally incorporated in the models. It is not surprisi...
