Help

The following resources were compiled for the short course: Introduction to Mathematical Models of the Epidemiology & Control of Infectious Diseases. They are applicable here.

A general help file for writing model (odin) code and navigating the interface can be found here.

For transitioning from this interface into R and Rstudio we have compiled a list of useful resources and a simple example to start the transition
