Sadie: Stochastic Agents in DIscrete time and Euclidean space¶
Sadie is an agent-based modelling environment for stochastic agents in discrete time in Euclidean space. It is intended to serve as a simple, convenient replacement for more complex agent-based modelling frameworks such as Repast and Mesa where customisation and adaptation to specific use cases is required. In particular, Sadie is designed for simulating random walks in various complex interactions, including Lévy walks, avoidant walks, homesick and other stochastic mobility models in Euclidean space.
