• First Steps Towards RAT: A Protocol for Documenting Data Use in the Agent-Based Modeling Process 

      Siebers, Peer-Olaf; Achter, Sebastian; Bernardo, Cristiane Palaretti; Borit, Melania; Chattoe-Brown, Edmund (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2021)
      While there is a number of frameworks and protocols in Agent-Based Modeling (ABM) that support the documentation of different aspects of a simulation study, it is surprising to find only a small number dealing with the handling of data. Here we present the results of discussions we had on the topic at the Lorentz Center workshop on Integrating Qualitative and Quantitative Evidence using Social ...
    • GAM on! Six ways to explore social complexity by combining games and agent-based models 

      Szczepanska, Timo; Antosz, Patrycja; Berndt, Jan Ole; Borit, Melania; Chattoe-Brown, Edmund; Mehryar, Sara; Meyer, Ruth; Onngo, Stephan; Verhagen, Harko (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-03-27)
      GAM, combining games and agent-based models, shows potential for investigating complex social phenomena. Games offer engaging environments generating insights into social dynamics, perceptions, and behaviours, while agent-based models support the analysis of complexity. Games and agent-based models share the important ability both to input and output qualitative and quantitative data. Currently, ...
    • RAT-RS: a reporting standard for improving the documentation of data use in agent-based modelling 

      Achter, Sebastian; Borit, Melania; Chattoe-Brown, Edmund; Siebers, Peer-Olaf (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-03-30)
      This article describes and justifies a reporting standard to improve data use documentation in Agent-Based Modelling. Following the development of reporting standards for models themselves, empirical modelling has now developed to the point where these standards need to take equally effective account of data use (which previously has tended to be an afterthought to model description). It is ...
