There are three things that you can do with the items on this list: read them, use them, and modify them. To read them, just click on the links above to take you to each model. To use them and modify them, please continue reading.
Using Examples
To use the sir example it can be read into R using the
following code.
sir_dir = system.file("starter_models", "sir", package = "macpan2")
sir = mp_tmb_library(sir_dir)
print(sir)
#> ---------------------
#> Default values:
#> ---------------------
#> matrix row col value
#> beta 0.2
#> gamma 0.1
#> N 100.0
#> I 1.0
#> R 0.0
#>
#> ---------------------
#> Before the simulation loop (t = 0):
#> ---------------------
#> 1: S ~ N - I - R
#>
#> ---------------------
#> At every iteration of the simulation loop (t = 1 to T):
#> ---------------------
#> 1: mp_per_capita_flow(from = "S", to = "I", rate = infection ~ I *
#> beta/N)
#> 2: mp_per_capita_flow(from = "I", to = "R", rate = recovery ~ gamma)To see how to actually generate simulations from this model see this
article. To use another model, again, replace sir with
another entry in the dir column above.
Modifying Examples
To take sir as a jumping-off point for producing your
own model one may use the following code.
my_sir_dir = file.path(tempdir(), "my_sir")
mp_model_starter("sir", my_sir_dir)
#> ---------------------
#> Default values:
#> ---------------------
#> matrix row col value
#> beta 0.2
#> gamma 0.1
#> N 100.0
#> I 1.0
#> R 0.0
#>
#> ---------------------
#> Before the simulation loop (t = 0):
#> ---------------------
#> 1: S ~ N - I - R
#>
#> ---------------------
#> At every iteration of the simulation loop (t = 1 to T):
#> ---------------------
#> 1: mp_per_capita_flow(from = "S", to = "I", rate = infection ~ I *
#> beta/N)
#> 2: mp_per_capita_flow(from = "I", to = "R", rate = recovery ~ gamma)After running this code you can go to the files in
my_sir_dir and modify what you see there. Note that you
typically want to chose a specific directory for your model instead of
using tempdir. You still need to read your own model in the
usual way.
my_sir = mp_tmb_library(my_sir_dir)
print(my_sir)
#> ---------------------
#> Default values:
#> ---------------------
#> matrix row col value
#> beta 0.2
#> gamma 0.1
#> N 100.0
#> I 1.0
#> R 0.0
#>
#> ---------------------
#> Before the simulation loop (t = 0):
#> ---------------------
#> 1: S ~ N - I - R
#>
#> ---------------------
#> At every iteration of the simulation loop (t = 1 to T):
#> ---------------------
#> 1: mp_per_capita_flow(from = "S", to = "I", rate = infection ~ I *
#> beta/N)
#> 2: mp_per_capita_flow(from = "I", to = "R", rate = recovery ~ gamma)These look identical to what came before, but that’s just because it hasn’t been modified … yet …
