A comparison of random mixing in a structured agent-based model with empirical contact survey data

2025-09-22

Abstract excerpt

Agent-based models (ABMs) are powerful tools for simulating disease spread, relying on individual-level representations and interaction rules from which emergent dynamics arise. These rules need to be accurately specified as minor differences can lead to vastly different disease dynamics. An important component in ABMs is the contact behaviour. To decrease the computational complexity the contact behaviour is ofte...
