Efficient simulation of individual-based population models: the R Package IBMPopSim
The R Package IBMPopSim aims to simulate the random evolution of heterogeneous populations using stochastic Individual-Based Models (IBMs). The package enables users to simulate population evolution, in which individuals are characterized by their age and some characteristics, and the population is modified by different types of events, including births/arrivals, death/exit events, or changes of characteristics. The frequency at which an event can occur to an individual can depend on their age and characteristics, but also on the characteristics of other individuals (interactions). Such models have a wide range of applications in fields including actuarial science, biology, ecology or epidemiology. IBMPopSim overcomes the limitations of time-consuming IBMs simulations by implementing new efficient algorithms based on thinning methods, which are compiled using the Rcpp package while providing a user-friendly interface.

Simulating long-term impacts of mortality shocks: learning from the cholera pandemic
The aim of this paper is to study the long-term consequence on longevity of a mortality shock. We adopt an historical and modeling approach to study how the population evolution following a mortality shock such as the CO…
phylodyn: an R package for phylodynamic simulation and inference
We introduce phylodyn, an R package for phylodynamic analysis based on gene genealogies. The package main functionality is Bayesian nonparametric estimation of effective population size fluctuations over time. Our implem…
AgentBasedModeling.jl: a tool for stochastic simulation of structured population dynamics
Agent-based models capture heterogeneity among individuals in a population and are widely used in studies of multi-cellular systems, disease, epidemics and demography to name a few. However, existing frameworks consider …
Distributionally Robust Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning for Dynamic Chute Mapping
In Amazon robotic warehouses, the destination-to-chute mapping problem is crucial for efficient package sorting. Often, however, this problem is complicated by uncertain and dynamic package induction rates, which can lea…
