Thanks to all who responded.

 

"After all, it's the _braided_ or woven nature of causal networks (in
contrast to causal _chains_) that gave rise to ABM to begin with." glen e.
p. ropella

 

Could you or someone recommend a good ABM (as in the above quotation) that I
might study?

 

I thought glen's description of bayesian was very clear. Could glen or
someone else give a similarly clear and intuitive description of Bayesian
Monte Carlo or Markov Chain Monte Carlo method?
