Abstract

In the agent-based modeling approach, agents play an important role in determining the behavior of the system. The agents are autonomous components of the agent-based model of a real system. An agent is defined as having a set of features and rules governing behavior and decision-making. In this study, a numerical solution is presented for determining some rules of behaviors of agents. Behavioral functions that will guide the actions of the agents in the model are handled with the Taylor series approach. The Taylor series can estimate a function value at the initial agent in terms of the function value and its derivatives at another agent. An agent-based cross-sectional model is examined with some experimental results by using Taylor series expansion. Compared to the results of the study which is presented with the agent-based modeling approach, the Taylor Series obtains successful solutions based on distance points of the agents. This study presents a hybrid model perspective by proposing a numerical method approach to determining agent behaviors.

Abstract

Etmen tabanlı modelleme yaklaşımında, modellenen sistemin davranışının belirlenmesinde etmenler önemli rol oynamaktadır. Etmenler gerçek bir sistem modelinin otonom bileşenleridir. Bir etmen, davranışlarını ve karar verme yeteneğini yöneten bir dizi özellik ve kurala sahip olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, etmenlerin bazı davranış kurallarının belirlenmesinde nümerik bir çözüm sunulmaktadır. Model içinde etmenlerin eylemlerini gerçekleştirmesine yön verecek davranış fonksiyonları Taylor serisi yaklaşımı ile ele alınmaktadır. Taylor serisi, başlangıç etmenindeki bir fonksiyon değerini, fonksiyon değeri ve başka bir ajandaki türevleri açısından tahmin edebilmektedir. Etmen tabanlı kesitsel bir model, Taylor serisi açılımı kullanılarak bazı deneysel sonuçlarla incelenmektedir. Etmen tabanlı modelleme yaklaşımı ile sunulan çalışmanın sonuçları karşılaştırıldığında Taylor Serisi, etmenlerin uzaklık noktalarına göre başarılı çözümler elde etmektedir. Bu çalışma, etmen davranışlarına nümerik bir metot yaklaşımı önermesi ile hibrid bir model perspektifi sunmaktadır.
