🔬 Agent-Based Models: Simulating Epidemic Dynamics at the Granular Scale
Agent-Based Models (ABMs), also known as micro-simulation models, are essential when population heterogeneity—differences in movement behavior, contact patterns, susceptibility, or adherence to interventions—plays a central role in disease spread. Unlike classical compartmental models that assume homogeneous mixing, ABMs simulate infection dynamics at the level of individual agents. 📐 Compartmental Structure and Flow Explanation ABMs consist … Read more
