COMPASS – an open-source software package for creating multi-level representative nested synthetic populations for small areas

Andreas Hoehn, Hugh Rice, Ricardo Colasanti, Alison Heppenstall et autres

The attribute values for sociodemographic groups in the artificial population of Meropis were generated synthetically using a large language model (LLM).Here, we employed the LLM DeepSeek for its capacity to produce plausible patterns and distributions without directly referencing or replicating real-world population …

Evidencing the relational and situated aspects of complex social systems affecting health: introducing an integrated mixed methods approach to understand school mental health

Claire Goodfellow, Chloé Bate, Jayashree Ravi Shetty, James Allen et autres

Existing strategies for assessing adolescent mental health overlook the complex social and emotional contexts that young people navigate. Traditional methods focus on individuals, with less consideration of social and environmental factors. This paper presents a novel approach to understand relational and situated …

Model 2: Introducing Time and Space

Jennifer Badham, Corinna Elsenbroich

Bringing it all Together

Jennifer Badham, Corinna Elsenbroich

The tutorial is now complete. This chapter summarises some of the key ideas presented and points to further materials to improve your understanding of agent-based modelling and NetLogo. It also brings together related ideas that are spread throughout the tutorial. The structure …

Modelling the Social World

Jennifer Badham, Corinna Elsenbroich

This chapter discusses the concept of societies as complex systems, emphasising the importance of heterogeneity, interaction, non-linearity, and emergence. It introduces the idea of agent-based modelling, a computational methodology that allows researchers to create, analyse, and experiment with models composed of agents …

Building an Agent-based Model

Jennifer Badham, Corinna Elsenbroich

This chapter covers the core concepts of agent-based modelling, including agents, environments, and interactions. It explores key challenges in model design, such as system boundaries, abstraction, idealisation, and operationalisation, and highlights the generative purpose of ABM in social science, moving beyond traditional …

Being an Agent-Based Modeller

Jennifer Badham, Corinna Elsenbroich

Congratulations — you are now an agent-based modeller! You have built your first agent-based model and thought about all kinds of aspects of modelling, including conceptualisation, opera-tionalisation, experimentation, validation, and interpretation. You might not feel like a full-blown agent-based modeller just yet, …

Ethics of Agent-Based Modelling

Jennifer Badham, Corinna Elsenbroich

Ethics lies at the heart of the social sciences. Although agent-based modelling often does not involve human subjects directly, ethical considerations pervade every step of the modelling process. This chapter explores general social science ethical principles, relates them to agent-based modelling, reflects …
