Workshop: Adding real world data to agent-based modelling for social scientists
Channel: UK DATA SERVICE
Date: 2022-03-08

Following on from the introductory webinar, this online workshop shows how researchers can add real-world data to agent-based models. This free workshop, organised by the UK Data Service, is the second in a training series on how to use agent-based models and real world data to run computational social science experiments.

Specifically, this workshop:
* shows how to open, modify and save an agent-based model in NetLogo
* shows how to load shapefiles and other data files into the agent-based model
* demonstrates how the agent-based model differs when using random and imported real world data
* discusses some problems and limitations of using real world data in agent-based models

Presenter: Dr J. Kasmire
