Agent Based Mesa Models in Python

This is new to me.    We actively used agent models for consumer interaction understanding.  See agent tag for more.

Agent-based modeling relies on simulating the actions and interactions of autonomous agents to evaluate their effects on the system. It is often used to predict the projections that we will obtain given a complex phenomena. The main purpose is to obtain explanatory insight on how the agents will behave given a particular set of rules. Agent-based modeling has been extensively used in numerous industry such as biology, social sciences, network and business. This article covers the necessary steps to kick-start your agent-based modeling project using an open-source python module called Mesa. There are 4 sections in this tutorial:   ... "
