More than 10 years ago O'Donoghue (2001a) surveyed the dynamic microsimulation
models that had been developed up to that point. However many of the barriers mentioned …

This paper outlines a framework for spatial microsimulation models, gives some reasons
why someone may want to use a spatial microsimulation model, describes the development …

This book has emerged through years of discussions, comments and questions we have
received about building agentbased models and integrating geographical information …

There are several established methodologies for generating synthetic populations. These
include deterministic reweighting, conditional probability (Monte Carlo simulation) and …

Planning Support Systems: Retrospect and Prospect It has been nearly twenty years since
the term 'planning support systems'(PSS) first appeared in an article by Britton Harris (Harris …

Reproducible quantitative research is research that has been documented sufficiently
rigorously that a third party can replicate any quantitative results that arise. It is argued here …

Population synthesis is concerned with the generation of synthetic yet realistic
representations of populations. It is a fundamental problem in the modeling of transportation …

Agent-based models have gained traction in exploring the intricate processes governing the
spread of infectious diseases, particularly due to their proficiency in capturing nonlinear …

Synthetic spatial microdata enable analyses of artificial populations in the form of individual
unit record files at a small area level. They allow analyses of estimates of variables that are …

The paper describes a method of small area estimation which uses a reweighting algorithm
to reweight survey data to a number of known totals (benchmarks) for small areas. The …
