🕸️📲 Network Agent-Based Models (ABMs): Modeling Heterogeneity and Social Contact
While Reaction–Diffusion partial differential equations address spatial components in a continuous manner, Agent-Based Models (ABMs) are the discrete and stochastic counterparts required to capture heterogeneity, individual behavior, and complex contact structures. Among spatially and socially explicit ABM frameworks, network-based simulations are the most widely used and analytically informative. ──────────────────────────────────────────── 🧬 1.
