The key components of ABMs in epidemiology include:
Agents: Represent individuals or entities with specific attributes like age, health status, and behavior. Environment: The space in which agents interact, which can be physical, social, or virtual. Rules: Define how agents behave and interact with each other and their environment. These rules can govern aspects like disease transmission, movement, and recovery. Time: The simulation runs over a specified period, allowing researchers to observe changes and trends over time.
