Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1: Macro-Micro Bridge; Algorithm 2: Pseudo-Arclength Equilibrium Solver
Open Source Code No The paper does not provide an explicit statement about releasing source code or a link to a code repository.
Open Datasets No The paper evaluates the framework using two agent-based simulation models (opinion dynamics and labour market models) which are simulated rather than relying on external publicly available datasets with access information. Therefore, no public dataset access is provided.
Dataset Splits No The paper uses Monte Carlo experiments for comparison and specifies parameters for its simulations, but it does not describe specific training, validation, or test dataset splits in a traditional machine learning sense, as it relies on simulations rather than pre-existing datasets.
Hardware Specification Yes In executing our experiment, we use MATLAB 2013a running on Intel Xeon CPU E5-1650, 16 Gi B RAM and Ubuntu 14.04LTS operating system.
Software Dependencies No The paper mentions 'MATLAB 2013a' and 'Ubuntu 14.04LTS operating system' as part of the experimental setup, and 'Sparse Grid Interpolation Toolbox' is mentioned as used, but no specific version numbers are provided for these or other libraries/packages.
Experiment Setup Yes The total number of agents is set to 5000. The macroscopic step δt is chosen as 6000 microscopic simulation steps, and the number of microscopic realizations is set to 10. The confidence bound ϵ is chosen as 0.5. For the labour market model: The total number of firms and works is set to be 200 and 1000, respectively. The macroscopic time step δt is selected as 50 microscopic simulation steps, and the number of microscopic realizations is set to 50. ρ = 0.80 and ρ = 0.81 are used as the two starting points. δs is set to be 0.1.
