Splitting data into training and test data sets is an important step in the machine learning data preparation process. This process involves splitting the data into subsets, usually in a 70:30 ratio, to create a training set and a test set. The training set is used to train the machine learning model, while the test set is used to evaluate the model’s performance. This process allows for the model to be tested and evaluated on data that it has not seen before, in order to ensure that it is accurate and able to generalize to new data.

Questions 5
What term do computer scientists and economists use to describe how happy an agent is?
Computer scientists and economists use the term "utility" to describe how happy an agent is. Utility is a measure of satisfaction or preference, and it is used to evaluate an agent's satisfaction with a particular outcome. Utility can be used to determine the optimal decision or action for an agent to take in order to maximize its satisfaction. References:

Questions 6
An agent based model is a simul-ation of autonomous agents (individual and collective). What can be used to learn from the data generated by the simul-ations?
An agent based model is a simulation of autonomous agents (individual and collective). Machine learning can be used to learn from the data generated by the simulations. Machine learning algorithms can analyze the data generated by simulations and identify patterns, which can then be used to help the agent make decisions and take actions. References:
