概要	Agent-based sensitivity analysis (ABSA) applies sensitivity analysis techniques to agent-based models (ABMs) to determine which input parameters most strongly influence emergent outputs. Because ABMs are stochastic and nonlinear, standard analytical derivatives are unavailable; ABSA uses designed simulation experiments — screening methods, variance-based indices, or regression-based surrogates — to rank parameter importance and guide model calibration and validation.	Agent-based modeling (ABM) is a computational simulation method, formalized through the work of Thomas Schelling and Robert Axelrod in the 1970s–1990s, that simulates the behavior of complex systems by specifying and running autonomous agents — individuals, firms, cells, or any bounded entity — whose local interactions with each other and with their environment collectively produce global, system-level patterns that could not be predicted from any single agent's rules alone.
