Abstract
Redistribution systems iteratively redistribute mass between groups under the control of rules. PRAM is a framework for building redistribution systems. We discuss the relationships between redistribution systems, agent-based systems, compartmental models and Bayesian models. PRAM puts agent-based models on a sound probabilistic footing by reformulating them as redistribution systems. This provides a basis for integrating agent-based and probabilistic models. \pram/ extends the themes of probabilistic relational models and lifted inference to incorporate dynamical models and simulation. We illustrate PRAM with an epidemiological example.
