Introduction
This tutorial has for goal to present the batch mode of GAMA 1.3. The Batch mode allows to explore the model parameter space. This exploration is indispensable to:
- Build: find missing elements
- Calibrate: estimate parameters values
- Validate: reproduce observed values, sensitivity analysis
- Reason: use model to explain, discover emergent properties or ...predict.
Principle of the parameter space exploration
Explore the parameter space of a model requires to follow 5 steps:
- Define initial condition and an stopping condition for the model
- Define parameters to explore
- Define a strategy for exploration and recording results
- Execute and collect Data
- Analyze Data
