⚠️There's a newer version (1.1.3) of this package.Take me there.

outbreaker2: a framework for reconstructing disease outbreaks

Welcome to the project page of outbreaker2, a Bayesian framework for integrating epidemiological and genetic data to reconstruct transmission trees of densely sampled outbreaks. It re-implements, generalises and replaces the model of outbreaker, and uses a modular approach which enables fine customisation of priors, likelihoods and parameter movements (see customisation vignette).

Installation

To install the stable version from CRAN:

install.packages("outbreaker2")

To install the development version from github (requires Rtools on windows and GSL headers on all platforms):

devtools::install_github("reconhub/outbreaker2")

To add local copies of the vignettes, you will need to specify:

devtools::install_github("reconhub/outbreaker2", build_vignettes = TRUE)

Then, to load the package, use:

library("outbreaker2")

Documentation

outbreaker2 is fully documented on a dedicated website.

It also comes with the following vignettes:

  • introduction: general introduction using a worked example.
  • overview: brief overview of the package's content.
  • customisation: customisation of priors, likelihoods, and movement functions.
  • Rcpp_API: documentation for the Rcpp API.
