Project:

Using optimal control theory to identify cost-optimal interventions for control and elimination of schistosomiasis in different settings. Building on a previous project for ESPM 288 investigating optimal control of a simple infectious disease system, work for which can be found in the Archive folder.

Contents:

data folder

Contains raw data used for this project such as epi data (that's non-sensitive) and large .RData files that are outputs of more intensive simulations

analysis folder

Contains two .Rmds and their outputs. manuscript.Rmd is text of the manuscruipt that's being generated related to this work. notebook.Rmd is a daily tracker of my thoughts and actions related to the work I do on this project

R folder

Contains scripts that are used in the analysis folder to generate figures, test hypotheses, test functions, generate new questions, etc.

Common files:

• README.md: This file
• gitignore: Files ignored by Git commands

Infrastructure for testing:

• .travis.yml: Configuration file for automatically running continuous integration checks to verify reproducibility of all .Rmd notebooks in the repo. If all .Rmd notebooks can render successfully, the "Build Status" badge above will be green (build success), otherwise it will be red (build failure).
• DESCRIPTION : Metadata file for the repository, based on the R package standard. Lists any additional R packages/libraries needed for any of the .Rmd files to run.
• render_rmds.R : R script that is run to execute the above described tests, rendering all .Rmd notebooks.

Proposal Feedback

Neat proposal Chris! This is certainly an ambitious modeling project! I imagine even just your first goal of reproducing Figure 3 is going to take some concerted effort! As I mentioned after class on Thursday, you should not feel tied to complete everything proposed in your original proposal as long as you meet the goals of the project as outlined on the syllabus. Looking forward to seeing your completed project!
