Agent-based modeling of corporate behaviors with evolutionary computation-toward validation of the results of agent-based simulation

摘要

This paper describes an agent-based simulation model for analyzing corporate behaviors of competing firms. The simulator employs evolutionary computation to evolve the characteristics of the firms. So far, it is difficult to validate the simulation results of such complex models. To cope with the issue, this paper proposes Genetics-Based Validation method, which utilizes statistical techniques to analyze the sensitivity of agent parameters encoded into the chromosomes.
