Fast and Effortless Calibration of Agent-Based Models using Machine Learning
Overview
Provides tools and pre-trained Machine Learning [ML] models for calibration of Agent-Based Models [ABMs] built with the R package 'epiworldR'. Implements methods described in Najafzadehkhoei, Vega Yon, Modenesi, and Meyer (2025) doi:10.48550/arXiv.2509.07013. Users can automatically calibrate ABMs in seconds with pre-trained ML models, effectively focusing on simulation rather than calibration. Bridges a gap by allowing public health practitioners to run their own ABMs without the advanced technical expertise often required by calibration.
