A tool for modeling infectious diseases with python
epispot
A Python package for the mathematical modeling of infectious diseases via compartmental models. Originally designed for epidemiologists, epispot can be adapted for almost any type of modeling scenario.
Features
The epispot package currently only supports compartmental models, though
we plan to expand the package to work for stochastic agent-based and spatial
models as well. Currently, epispot offers the following:
- Quick compilation of compartmental models with the following compartments:
- Susceptible
- Infected
- Recovered
- Removed
- Exposed
- Dead
- Critical
- Hospitalized
- Custom-defined compartments for research
- Built-in graphing and visualization engine
- Plots model predictions interactively
- Creates comparisons between models
Due to its diverse range of features, epispot can be used for both research
and experimental modeling. If you would like to add more modeling support, please
see the contributing section.
