Situating agent-based modelling in population health research [PDF]
Emerging Themes in Epidemiology, 2021 Today’s most troublesome population health challenges are often driven by social and environmental determinants, which are difficult to model using traditional epidemiological methods.

An agent-based modelling framework to study growth mechanisms in EGFR-L858R mutant cell alveolar type II cells [PDF]
Royal Society Open ScienceMutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) are common in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), particularly in never-smoker patients. However, these mutations are not always carcinogenic, and have recently been reported in histologically ...

Modelling the impact of timelines of testing and isolation on disease control
Infectious Disease Modelling, 2023 Testing and isolation remain a key component of public health responses to both persistent and emerging infectious diseases. Although the value of these measures have been demonstrated in combating recent outbreaks including the COVID-19 pandemic and ...

Economic evaluation of COVID-19 rapid antigen screening programs in the workplace
BMC Medicine, 2022 Background Diagnostic testing has been pivotal in detecting SARS-CoV-2 infections and reducing transmission through the isolation of positive cases. We quantified the value of implementing frequent, rapid antigen (RA) testing in the workplace to identify

An Agent-Based Classification Model [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2007 The major function of this model is to access the UCI Wisconsin Breast Can- cer data-set[1] and classify the data items into two categories, which are normal and anomalous. This kind of classifi cation can be referred as anomaly detection, which discriminates anomalous behaviour from normal behaviour in computer systems.

Evaluation of TB elimination strategies in Canadian Inuit populations: Nunavut as a case study
Infectious Disease Modelling, 2022 Tuberculosis (TB) continues to disproportionately affect Inuit populations in Canada with some communities having over 300 times higher rate of active TB than Canadian-born, non-Indigenous people. Inuit Tuberculosis Elimination Framework has set the goal

Agent-Based Model Exploration [PDF]
, 2015 The previous chapters have allowed us to introduce the basics of agent-based model creation with NetLogo. This has resulted in a model such as the one used in our running example. Once the model has been built, the aim is to manipulate it in such a way that new knowledge about the modeled phenomenon can be created.
