Model module libraries

Computational models developed with ready4 are intended to be both transferable (they are tools that can be used in multiple decision contexts) and modular (they are comprised of self-contained components, each of which performs a narrow sub-set of tasks). For these reasons, ready4 computational models are developed and distributed as libraries of modules.

The three types of ready4 module libraries are:

• - modules for describing and quality assuring model data;

• - modules to specify, assess and report statisitical models; and

• - modules for making predictions.

A table summarising currently available module libraries can be generated by using the make_libraries_tb function from the ready4 framework library.

library(ready4)

libraries_tb <- make_libraries_tb("modules")

Module libraries are thematically grouped under one of four “sections” of the ready4 model, one each for modelling People, Places, Platforms and Programs. We can use the print_packages function to display the module libraries currently available for each section (currently, there are no publicly available libraries of ready4 modules for modelling platforms).

Module libraries for modelling people

print_packages(libraries_tb %>% dplyr::filter(Section == "People"),
               include_1L_chr = "modules")
