The agent-based model is the principal scientific instrument of generative social science. Typically, we design completed agents-fully endowed with rules and parameters-to grow macroscopic target patterns from the bottom up. Inverse generat...
Understanding the Effects of China's Agro-Environmental Policies on Rural Households' Labor and Land Allocation with a Spatially Explicit Agent-Based Model [0.03%]
基于空间显式的智能体模型探究中国农业环境政策对农户劳动力与土地配置的影响

Diarrhea, the second leading cause of child morbidity and mortality, can have detrimental effects in the physical and cognitive development of children in developing countries. Health interventions (e.g., increased access to health services...
Explaining "U-shaped" distributions of population substance use with a simple computational approach [0.03%]
用简单的计算方法解释人口物质使用量的“U型”分布
Background: "U-shaped" distributions of past 30-day substance use frequencies are pervasive, yet no established model explains this phenomenon. Using probability functions to describe these distributions yields unintuitiv...
