Sammendrag
This article describes and justifies a reporting standard to improve data use
documentation in Agent-Based Modelling. Following the development of
reporting standards for models themselves, empirical modelling has now
developed to the point where these standards need to take equally effective account of data use (which previously has tended to be an afterthought
to model description). It is particularly important that a standard should
allow the reporting of the different uses to which data may be put (specification, calibration and validation), but also that it should be compatible
with the integration of different kinds of data (for example, survey, ethnographic and experimental) sometimes known as mixed methods research.
The article motivates the need for standards generally, and positions the
distinctive contribution of the RAT-RS reporting standard. It describes how
the standard was developed to ensure its usability, presents and explains it,
and describes possibilities for future development.
