Our our research agendas involve improving the tools we use to study disease transmission and biosecurity. Below, you’ll find software for working with infectious diseases, machine learning and on-farm swine biosecurity.

The RABapp (Rapid Acess Biosecurity) provides rapid access to up-to-date, standardized on-farm biosecurity plans and animal movement data in a timely manner to enable business continuity within the swine industry, also:

  • Expand SPS plan adoption throughout the swine industry and train stakeholders to use the app to help them refine and manage their site-specific plans
  • Train stakeholders in how to use the app to prepare for large-scale disease emergencies

mrIML

GitHub R package version GitHub last commit

We are developing the mrIML R package for generating postestimation interpret multivariate machine learning models. The package contains functions for multi-response stacking algorithms and harnessing the tidyverse (tidy model syntax in particular).

Installation

Install the stable version of the package:

#install.packages("devtools") 
devtools::install_github('nfj1380/mrIML')

Quick start

mrIML is designed to be used with a single function call or to be used in an ad-hoc fashion via individual function calls. In the following section we give an overview of the simple use cases.
