Dynamical Systems Approach to Infectious Disease Epidemiology
This is an R package consisting of a set of Shiny Apps to teach infectious disease epidemiology from a dynamical system perspective. By manipulating the models through the Shiny UI interface and working through the instructions provided within the Shiny UI, you can learn about some important concepts in infectious disease epidemiology. You will also learn how models can be used to study such concepts.
- Install the CRAN release in the usual way with install.packages()
- The latest development version (potentially buggy) can be installed from github, using the devtools package function via: install_github("ahgroup/DSAIDE")
After loading the package, run dsaidemenu() to start the main menu.
From there choose the different apps corresponding to different infectious disease topics and scenarios.
Each app contains a description of the model and scenario that is implemented.
Each app also contains a list of recommeded tasks to work through in order to learn about a specific infectious topic.
Once done exploring the apps, close the main menu to exit back to the R console.
The vignette illustrates ways to interact with and modify the underlying models without the use of the Shiny GUI.
The vignette provides additional details about the different ways the package can be used. For feedback, bug reports etc., use the packages' github site https://github.com/ahgroup/DSAIDE
