paramix - Aggregate and Disaggregate Continuous Parameters for Compartmental Models

A convenient framework for aggregating and disaggregating continuously varying parameters (for example, case fatality ratio, with age) for proper parametrization of lower-resolution compartmental models (for example, with broad age categories) and subsequent upscaling of model outputs to high resolution (for example, as needed when calculating age-sensitive measures like years-life-lost).

denvax - Simple Dengue Test and Vaccinate Cost Thresholds

Provides the mathematical model described by "Serostatus Testing & Dengue Vaccine Cost-Benefit Thresholds" in <doi:10.1098/rsif.2019.0234>. Using the functions in the package, that analysis can be repeated using sample life histories, either synthesized from local seroprevalence data using other functions in this package (as in the manuscript) or from some other source. The package provides a vignette which walks through the analysis in the publication, a function to generate a project skeleton for such an analysis, and a shiny app to run scenarios.

hashprng - Hash-Based Matching Pseudo-Random Number Generation

Provides helper functions for use of hash-based matching (HBM) for pseudo-random number generation (PRNG) in stochastic simulations. HBM-PRNG is an approach to simplify matching synthetic experiment samples, which ensures that matched runs different only in the focal parameters, not in their chance events.
