Introduction to Mathematical Models of the Epidemiology & Control of Infectious Diseases 2022

Welcome to the Imperial College London short course "Introduction to Mathematical Models of the Epidemiology and Control of Infectious Diseases" (infectiousdiseasemodels.org).

This course will be taught using an interface built using an R package called shiny using the R programming language. Over the 8 day short course you will be using this interface to explore and understand the basics of infectious disease modelling.

The links below will take you to the practical and project materials and interface you will use over the next two weeks. Links to course materials and solutions will become active as the course progresses so be sure to check back regularly.

Help

A general help file for writing model (odin) code and navigating the interface can be found here.

For help transitioning from using the shiny interface into writing models directly in R and Rstudio after the course, we have compiled a list of useful resources and a simple examples.
