Using Causal diagrams, Stock and Flows diagrams, and simulation to resolve purchasing contracts challenge

An example of how to resolve a common contract processing problem by using causal diagrams and stocks and flows diagrams and simulations to see the problem in a different way and detect the root cause.  We will demonstrate how to create a simple causal diagram, how to read it and how to use archetypes to …

Agent-based models and simulation – handling over 2 states using the personality preferences model.

In my previous post (https://galaxiez.com/2019/12/30/creating-agent-base-models-abm-in-insightmaker-part-1/), I covered in detail how to use InsightMaker.com to create Agent-Based models and running them as simulation. This post is taking into account that you read, exercise and understood the previous post. In this post, I’ll show how to deal with more than 2 states by implementing simple rules of personality preferences. …

Creating Agent-Base Models (ABM) in InsightMaker – Part 1

In the following five posts, I will cover all aspects of agent-based models (ABM) and how to create and use ABM in InsightMaker (www.insightmaker.com). This post focus is to expose to the basics of ABM and to create a basic model that depicts the famous game of life model (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%27s_Game_of_Life). Before we’ll start, several words about ABM. …
