epicR: Evaluation Platform in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Evaluation Platform in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (EPIC) is a Discrete Event Simulation (DES) model that simulates health outcomes of patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) based on demographics and individual-level risk factors, based on the model published in Sadatsafavi et al. (2019) <doi:10.1177/0272989X18824098>.
