Structure-generating mechanisms in agent-based models
The emergence of dynamical structures in multi-agent systems is analysed. Three different mechanisms are identified, namely: (1) sensitive-dependence and convex coupling, (2) sensitive-dependence and extremal dynamics and (3) interaction through a collectively generated field. The dynamical origin of the emergent structures is traced back either to a modification, by interaction, of the Lyapuno...
متن کاملGenerating Fraud: Agent Based Financial Network Modeling
In this paper, we describe research and an application of agent based modeling to create financial network data. Creating a dataset of this type presented some unique challenges. First, the dataset we are trying to emulate is large and sparsely connected (20 million nodes, 20 million edges, in 500GB). Second, it includes multiple types of entities and relationships. A system made up of multiple...
متن کاملThe Probabilistic Structure of Discrete Agent-Based Models
This paper describes a formalization of agent-based models (ABMs) as random walks on regular graphs and relates the symmetry group of those graphs to a coarse-graining of the ABM that is still Mar-kovian. An ABM in which N agents can be in δ different states leads to a Markov chain with δ N states. In ABMs with a sequential update scheme by which one agent is chosen to update its state at a tim...
متن کاملEmpirically Based, Agent-based models
There is an increasing drive to combine agent-based models with empirical methods. An overview is provided of the various empirical methods that are used for different kinds of questions. Four categories of empirical approaches are identified in which agent-based models have been empirically tested: case studies, stylized facts, role-playing games, and laboratory experiments. We discuss how the...
متن کاملAgent - Based Models
In Agent-based Models, the latest addition to his impressive body of scientific work, Nigel Gilbert's purpose is again pedagogical; here, to introduce graduate and post-graduate social science students as well as uninitiated social scientists to multi-agent systems. As may be deduced from the first lines of the preface, the restricted focus here restricted compared to the remarkable Simulation ...
