Where does `idmodelr` sit? #9

Closed seabbs closed 5 years ago

seabbs commented 5 years ago

There are multiple other infectious disease modelling packages with different aims. Where does idmodelr sit within these?

Packages:

These packages are mainly focussed on usage for actual research. pomp and libbi focus on model fitting, whilst epimodel is focussed on network models. None of these tools provide a library of models.

idmodelr

idmodelr provides a library of models that can be used within a consistent framework. The main purpose of idmodelr is to allow those new to infectious disease modelling to quickly, and easily explore infectious disease model dynamics. It also serves as a reference point for these users when developing their own models. It is hoped that over time it will develop into a library of infectious disease model, each displaying a different technique. In essence, this is an in R implementation of epirecipes but with an R centric scope.
