# Agent-Based Model **Entity class:** Computational modeling method **Maturity:** Developed ## Definition An **agent-based model** simulates heterogeneous actors with rules, attributes, environments, and changing relationships. In radicalization research it can represent different susceptibility thresholds, peer reinforcement, disengagement, platform effects, and intervention strategies without assuming every person follows one compartmental pathway. ## Relationships - **models:** [[wiki/Radicalization as Social Contagion|Radicalization as Social Contagion]]. - **compared with:** [[wiki/SIR Model|SIR Model]], [[wiki/SEIR Model|SEIR Model]], and [[wiki/Hawkes Process|Hawkes Process]]. - **network substrate:** [[wiki/Temporal Network|Temporal Network]] and [[wiki/Multilayer Network|Multilayer Network]]. ## Sources / Provenance - [[research/A Network-Epidemiological Analysis of Radicalization and Real-Time Counterterrorism Observability|Network-Epidemiological Analysis]]
