summer2: compartmental disease modelling in Python

summer2 is a Python-based framework for the creation and execution of compartmental (or "state-based") epidemiological models of infectious disease transmission.

It provides a range of structures for easily implementing compartmental models, including structure for some of the most common features added to basic compartmental frameworks, including:

• A variety of inter-compartmental flows (infections, transitions, births, deaths, imports)
• Force of infection multipliers (frequency, density)
• Post-processing of compartment sizes into derived outputs
• Stratification of compartments, including:
  • Adjustments to flow rates based on strata
  • Adjustments to infectiousness based on strata
  • Heterogeneous mixing between strata
  • Multiple disease strains

• Documentation with code examples
• Available on PyPi as summerepi2.

Installation and Quickstart

This project requires at least Python 3.10

Set up and activate an appropriate virtual environment, then install the summerepi2 package from PyPI

pip install summerepi2

You can now use the library to build and run models. See here for some code examples.

Optional (recommended) extras

Summer has advanced interactive plotting tools built in - but they are greatly improved with the addition of the pygraphviz library.

If you are using conda, the simplest method of installation is as follows:

conda install --channel conda-forge pygraphviz

For other install methods, see https://pygraphviz.github.io/documentation/stable/install.html

Development

Poetry is used for packaging and dependency management.
