There are multiple other infectious disease modelling packages with different aims. Where does idmodelr sit within these?
Packages:
epimodel
pomp
libbi
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.
