This paper proposes a novel approach to enhance causal structure learning for Agent-Based Model (ABM) validation, addressing the challenges of accuracy and robustness in complex and noisy time series data. The authors develop two extensions of prominent causal discovery algorithms, RCV-VarLiNGAM and RCV-PCMCI, designed to reduce the impact of noise and provide reliable causal relation results even with high-dimensional, time-dependent data. The approach is integrated into an enhanced ABM validation framework that can handle diverse data and model structures.

This paper helps make computer simulations more reliable by finding patterns in complex data. Right now, it’s hard to use current methods for this task because the data is noisy and has many variables. To solve this problem, the authors create two new tools, RCV-VarLiNGAM and RCV-PCMCI, that can handle this type of data better. These tools are then combined with a framework for validating computer simulations.
