| Abstract | In this thesis, we presented a simulator for barter trade exchange. The simulator is implemented using a data-driven approach. This technique learns probabilistic models of company purchase behavior from transaction history data obtained from an operating commercial barter trade exchange. We experiment with a number of different temporal and non-temporal probabilistic models. Our simulator is built by making use of the learned company purchase probability. The simulated trade is quantitatively evaluated by measuring the agreement between simulated and actual values from different aspects (purchase amount, sales amount, the absolute trade balance and the over all trade volume). Results show a high degree of agreement between the simulated and actual trade |
