MiniDemographicABM.jl: A simplified agent-based demographic model of the UK (1.3.0)

This package implements a simplified artificial agent-based demographic model of the UK. Individuals of an initial population are subject to ageing, deaths, births, divorces and marriages. A specific case-study simulation is progressed with a user-defined simulation fixed step size on a hourly, daily, weekly, monthly basis or even an arbitrary user-defined clock rate. While the model can serve as a base model to be adjusted to realistic large-scale socio-economics, pandemics or social interactions-based studies mainly within a demographic context, the main purpose of the model is to explore and exploit capabilities of the state-of-the-art Agents.jl Julia package as well as other ecosystem of Julia packages like GlobalSensitivity.jl. Code includes examples for evaluating global sensitivity analysis using Morris and Sobol methods and local sensitivity analysis using OFAT and OAT methods. Multi-threaded parallelization is enabled for improved runtime performance.

Release Notes

  • V1.3 (23.10.23): improved specification / documentation
  • V1.2 (27.9.23): Equivalent simulation program based on ABMSim Version 0.7
    • V1.2.1 (11.10.23): ABMSim V0.7.2 for removing the cause of Agents.jl performance drop when using ABMSim
  • V1.1 (28.7.2023): - Model documentation as a pdf and unified naming convention of model parameters
  • V1.0 (22.2.2023) : First initial implementation exploring various capabilities of Agents.jl as a demonstration of how to implement an abstract demographic ABM, not yet calibrated. A space type was implemented as a demonstration. A comprehensive set of unit tests is included. Blue style coding convetions are followed.
