This package implements the Early Pandemic Age-Structured Compartmental (EPAC) model developed by Michael WZ Li and Irena Papst from the Public Health Risk Sciences Division of the Public Health Agency of Canada using macpan2 modelling software.
The goal of this package is to catalogue, document, and version iterations of the Early Pandemic Age-structured Compartmental model so that they can be pulled easily into project-specific pipelines to produce modelling outputs.
