The functions contained in this package have been developed in support of a course on Model fitting and inference for infectious disease dynamics run annually at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine.
The main purpose of this package is to be a teaching tool, and the implementation of inference algorithms in this package is not particularly efficient of stable. For vastly superior alternative options for fitting models to data in R we recommend to consider, amongst others
- rstan, an interface to Stan.
- rbi, an interface to LibBi.
- pomp, for partially observed Markov processes.
The easiest way to install fitR is to use the remotes package:
# install.packages("remotes")
library(remotes)
install_github("sbfnk/fitR", dependencies = TRUE)
