Models Made Accessible via Data Exports
External models linked with the CWD Data Warehouse through the Prevalence Estimator Data Export, Disease Cluster Analysis Data Export, and Spread Model Data Export tools are published in peer reviewed journals but are not products of SOP4CWD. Please see the documentation in the external models for the underlying publications.
Open Code Used in Warehouse Models
Code used in the CWD Data Warehouse is shared openly under and MIT license through the Cornell Wildlife Health Lab GitHub Repository. Access the CWHL Public GitHub here.
