Abstract
For a better understanding of the nature of complex systems modeling, computer simulations and the analysis of the resulting data are major tools which can be applied. In this paper, we study a statistical modeling problem of data coming from a simulation model that investigates the correctness of autonomous agents’ decisions in learning to cross a cellular automaton-based highway. The goal is a better understanding of cognitive agents’ performance in learning to cross a cellular automaton-based highway with different traffic density. We investigate the effects of parameters’ values of the simulation model (e.g., knowledge base transfer, car creation probability, agents’ fear and desire to cross the highway) and their interactions on cognitive agents’ decisions (i.e., correct crossing decisions, incorrect crossing decisions, correct waiting decisions, and incorrect waiting decisions). We firstly utilize canonical correlation analysis (CCA) to see if all the considered parameters’ values and decision types are significantly statistically correlated, so that no considered dependent variables or independent variables (i.e., decision types and configuration parameters, respectively) can be omitted from the simulation model in potential future studies. After CCA, we then use the regression tree method to explore the effects of model configuration parameters’ values on the agents’ decisions. In particular, we focus on the discussion of the effects of the knowledge base transfer, which is a key factor in the investigation on how accumulated knowledge/information about the agents’ performance in one traffic environment affects the agents’ learning outcomes in another traffic environment. This factor affects the cognitive agents’ decision-making abilities in a major way in a new traffic environment where the cognitive agents start learning from existing accumulated knowledge/information about their performance in an environment with different traffic density. The obtained results provide us with a better understanding of how cognitive agents learn to cross the highway, i.e., how the knowledge base transfer as a factor affects the experimental outcomes. Furthermore, the proposed methodology can become useful in modeling and analyzing data coming from other computer simulation models and can provide an approach for better understanding a factor or treatment effect.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
