Fast and Effortless Calibration of Agent-Based Models using Machine Learning

About

Provides tools and pre-trained Machine Learning (ML) models for calibration of Agent-Based Models (ABMs) built with the R package ‘epiworldR’, implementing methods described in Najafzadehkhoei, Vega Yon, Modenesi, and Meyer (2025). Users can automatically calibrate ABMs in seconds with pre-trained ML models, effectively focusing on simulation rather than calibration, bridging a gap that allows public health practitioners to run their own ABMs without the advanced technical expertise often required by calibration.
