MultiMalModPy: A Python Framework for Multi-Model Malaria Simulation¶
Documentation and User Guide
About MultiMalModPy¶
A new HPC-oriented framework in Python and R that enables users to interact with EMOD, malariasimulation, and OpenMalaria. This framework is designed for modelers already familiar with one of these models, as well as for those who wish to learn more about all three models in a unified and accessible approach.
MultiMalModPy takes user input to generate malaria simulations and produces daily, monthly, and yearly outcome measures. It is designed to allow running either one or all three of the models to enable model characterization and comparison.
About this Guide¶
This documentation is designed to support both new and experienced users of MultiMalModPy, providing structured guidance while supplementing—rather than replacing—the original documentation for each model.
Scope of This Documentation
1. Comparative Model Information – High-level descriptions of each model, including links to their original source documentation for further reference.
2. User Guidance – Detailed instructions, best practices, and resources tailored to facilitate both introductory learning and advanced usage of MultiMalModPy.
