Installation

To use the package, please install package devtools and install EPICYST:

devtools::install_github("pwinskill/EPICYST")

You will need an appropriate compiler installed: (https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/)

The package ODEs are all driven by the odin package. More information is available at: (https://github.com/richfitz/odin/).

Use

For a detailed practical guide please see the EPICYST introduction vignette

Details on the model functionality and use can be found on the EPICYST Webpage Source code is available from the EPICYST Github Report a bug
