Best way to use decision making models for each person in a population #395

Thanks a lot for this very useful module and the documentation!

I was wondering if there is a way to use covasim along with separate models for each person in a population (or groups of persons) that affect each person's behavior (e.g. how often someone goes out of the house wrt to what his friends are doing, masking etc). This will result in time-varying parameters for each person. Furthermore each model will take into account the information available to each agent at the time of the decision.

Any principled way doing it with covasim without modifying the source code?

PS: I posted here as the Discussions section seems inactive.

I would have the same question. Can this simulator be used for individual-based policies?
