A very impressive success in predicting markets was achieved with SEMSTAT <http://atta.labb.usb.ve/Klaus/NAACSOS2005.htm>an agent based mass market simulation model for analyzing sales, is available at commercial terms We analyzed the beer and cigarette market in Dominican Republic and Venezuela. The model predicted impact of prices and promotion better than anything the company had and identified structural weaknesses in marketing considered relevant by the respective companies Klaus Jaffe Carbonell http://atta.labb.usb.ve/Klaus/klaus.htm El 12/14/2013 8:29 PM, Robert Marks escribió: > I sent this to Nigel, but he didn't include it. > > Simulating angiogenesis is not something we social scientists due > often, if at all, but this is a brilliant case: the ABM correctly > predicted a phenomenon never observed in the wild: > > Katie Bentley and associates built an AB model of > angiogenesis, which turned out to predict behaviour in > silico never before seen in vivo, but later observed > (Bentley et al. 2009, 2013). > > Katie Bentley, Holger Gerhardt and Paul A.
