In ancient Greek religion and mythology, Helios is the god who personifies the Sun.
helios
is a stochastic individual-based infectious disease transmission model that simulates the effect of far ultra-violet light emitters as a method for curtailing disease transmission. helios
is built using the individual
package developed at the MRC Centre for Global Infectious Disease Analysis.
Installation
You can install the development version of helios
from GitHub using:
devtools::install_github("mrc-ide/helios")

May 2024: Assessing far UVC interventions with an individual based infectious disease model introduces the
helios
package and demonstrates its application in simulating installation of far UVC interventions and their impact on disease dynamics - July 2024: Update to “assessing far UVC interventions with an individual based infectious disease model” describes two updates to our initial model, and…
