Epinet is an R package containing epidemiological and network-related tools for analyzing the spread of infectious diseases, and perform Bayesian inference on network and epidemic parameters, given epidemic data. Software can be downloaded from the Comprehensive R Archive Network (CRAN) or can be installed directly within R. The source code and package documentation are publicly available through CRAN.

Modeling Purpose

The method or type of model used to achieve the purpose.

modeling method

Modeling Method

a statistical model is an information content entity which is a formalization of relationships between variables in the form of mathematical equations. A statistical model describes how one or more random variables are related to one or more other variables. The model is statistical as the variables are not deterministically but stochastically related.

statistical model

Statistical Model

A Bayesian model is a statistical model where inference is based on using Bayes theorem to obtain a posterior distribution for a quantity (or quantities) of interest for some model (such as parameter values) based on some prior distribution for the relevant unknown parameters and the likelihood from the model.
