The EpiModel package provides tools for building, solving, and plotting mathematical models of infectious disease in R. For the stochastic network modeling of epidemics, it depends on the Statnet suite of software for the representation and analysis of networks (see http://statnet.org). EpiModel currently provides functionality for three classes of epidemic models and three disease types for modeling. Built-in model classes and types may be expanded by the user for new research.
This vignette is a placeholder for the EpiModel tutorials, all hosted online and external to the package to minimize overhead and provide flexibility in updates. Everything may be found at the EpiModel website: http://epimodel.org/
