📦 R Package of the Week: {linelist}

Turn data frames into #linelist objects by:

✅ Tagging key epidemiological variables (so you're not tied to column names)
✅ Validation to ensure tagged variables are of the correct type
✅ Safeguard against accidental loss of tagged variables during wrangling

Must also credit Edwin van Leeuwen of @ukhsa.bsky.social for initially writing some of the internals of {finalsize}.

Some recent changes not on CRAN yet: rough estimates of the effect of social contacts NPIs with (optional) age-varying effect. See the dev website for more.
🔎 How can #finalsize help you?

✅ Calculate the final size of an epidemic given the R0;
✅ Estimate the epidemic size with differences/heterogeneities among demographic groups;
✅ Provide rough estimates of the effectiveness of pharmaceutical interventions.

When an epidemic hits, how long does it take to get going with common epidemic analysis tasks?

A couple of weeks ago, we asked representatives from over a dozen UK organisations and universities who work actively on epidemic analysis and modelling how long the below tasks would take them....
