BRA - An Algorithm for Simulating Bounded Rational Agents

نویسنده

  • Stephan Schuster
چکیده

This paper describes a simulation approach for modelling decisionmaking processes under incomplete and imperfect information in Agentbased Computational Economics (ACE). The main idea is to represent decision-making in a model-free framework that can be applied to a larger set of simulation problems, not just the domain modelled. The method translates some basic sociopsychological concepts from the bounded rationality and learning literature into an executable algorithm. In a simple example, the algorithm is applied in the domain of behavioural game theory, illustrating how the algorithm can be used to reproduce observed patterns of human behaviour.

Variable Structure Behavioural Controller for Multi-agent Systems

In previous papers authors have considered agents as inertia-less self driven particles and designed a flocking algorithm. Application of this algorithm to agents with considerable inertial characteristics needs a behavioural controller. The controller uses the local information and helps every agent to imitate the desired behaviour as a member of the flocking frame which covers the main is...

Coalition Formation among Bounded Rational Agents

This paper analyzes coalitions among self-interested agents that need to solve combinatorial optimization problems to operate e ciently in the world. By colluding (coordinating their actions by solving a joint optimization problem), the agents can sometimes save costs compared to operating individually. A model of bounded rationality is adopted, where computation resources are costly. It is not...

A methodical framework for engineering co-evolution for simulating socio-economic game playing agents

Agent based computational economics (ACE), as a research field, has been using co-evolutionary algorithms for modelling the socioeconomic learning and adaptation process of players within games that model socio-economic interactions. In addition, it has also been using these algorithms for optimising towards the game equilibria via socio-economic learning. However, the field has been diverging ...

Designing a Bra with the Aim of Reducing Tension and Increasing Breast Movement Comfort Dduring Daily Activities

Introduction: Wearing an inappropriate bra may result in damage to the breasts, various breast diseases, or skin allergies. This study aimed to change the fabric used in different components of the bra to reduce tension and increase breast comfort during normal daily activities of women. Methods: Two types of commercial bra (a regular bra and a sponge bra) were modified in the gore, sidebands,...
