Interesting. Do you know anything about agent modelling? Any ideas how if/it ties to it?



The agent modelling that I'm aware of is in simulation. I have a feeling that there would be a lot of interesting duality between the fields of agent based simulation and monte-carlo based probabilistic modelling, but I don't know enough about the former to say off hand.


ABM is an MC method, because different individual agents randomize their behavior based on distributions associated with possible courses of action defined by their agent type.


What's agent modelling?


Here's an agent modeling framework I remember from the early 2000s:

I'm curious to know if it's related to the current discussion.
