Abstract
In an increasingly connected world, epidemic modeling techniques are an important tool for understanding epidemic phenomenon and forecasting future pathogen spread. While an extensive literature concerning the application of these techniques to a variety of pathogen life cycles and population contexts has arisen, general-purpose epidemic modeling software has not been forthcoming, especially for computationally challenging stochastic epidemic models. We introduce a general-purpose spatial epidemic modeling framework applicable to many pathogens and describe an open source package for the R statistical computing environment designed to perform such analyses.
