ABM offers several advantages over traditional mathematical models, such as compartmental models like SIR (Susceptible-Infected-Recovered). These advantages include:
Heterogeneity: ABM can account for variations among individuals, such as age, health status, and behavior. Spatial Dynamics: ABM can model how individuals move and interact in different geographical locations. Complex Interactions: ABM can capture intricate interactions between agents, including social networks and behavior changes over time.
