Summary
This PR adds a new example,
surrogate_modeling, which demonstrates how to integrate Mesa with Scikit-learn to create an emulator (surrogate model). This allows users to approximate the behavior of a complex Agent-Based Model (ABM) across a high-dimensional parameter space using only a small number of actual simulation runs.Motive
Computational expense is a common bottleneck in ABM research, especially during calibration or sensitivity analysis. This PR offloads these concerns to Scikit-learn and Scipy to provide users with a robust workflow for efficient experimentation.
Implementation
examples/surrogate_modeling/to demonstrate integration without modifying the core library.batch_runandDataCollectorin favor of manual Python loops to align with Mesa 4.0 roadmap.Usage Examples
Users can run the entire pipeline from sampling to prediction with a single command:
