Microsimulation is the use of computerized analytical tools to perform analysis of activities such as highway traffic flowing through an intersection, financial transactions, or pathogens spreading …

Microsimulation is a modeling technique that typically uses a large sample size of individual units (microunits), each with a unique set of attributes, and allows for simulations of downstream events on …

Microsimulation refers to a computational modeling strategy in the social sciences that focuses on modeling the behavior of decision-makers within a larger system.

Statistics Canada has developed a number of microsimulation models as well as general purpose tools that assist in their construction. Some of these models and tools can be downloaded from the pages …

May 27, 2025 · At its heart, microsimulation is a computer-based method that models individual people (or “agents”) to see how their characteristics and behaviors evolve over time. These simulated “micro …

Aug 21, 2019 · While more complex and requiring more data than simpler arithmetic and representative agent models, microsimulation models use individual-level data to construct a group of individuals to …

In the social sciences, a microsimulation model is a computer program that mimics the operation of government programs and demographic processes on individual ("micro") members of a …

The IJM covers research in all aspects of microsimulation modelling. It publishes high quality contributions making use of microsimulation models to address specific research questions in all …

Apr 30, 2025 · The sub-field of dynamic microsimulation modelling, the inter-temporal simulation of micro units over time, was one of the original areas of microsimulation. A number of surveys have …

In this tutorial, we provide a step-by-step guide to build microsimulation models in R and illustrate the use of this guide on a simple, but transferable, hypothetical decision problem.
