Overview

About

Maintained by Nassim AYADFirst published 2025-02-251 releasesCRAN page ↗

The 'EpiSimR' package provides an interactive 'shiny' app based on deterministic compartmental mathematical modeling for simulating and visualizing the dynamics of epidemic and endemic disease spread. It allows users to explore various intervention strategies, including vaccination and isolation, by adjusting key epidemiological parameters. The methodology follows the approach described by Brauer (2008) doi:10.1007/978-3-540-78911-6_2. Thanks to 'shiny' package.
