Warning! Zombiesim is for demonstration purposes only.
Zombiesim is an agent-based model implemented in the Starsim <https://starsim.org> framework. It implements a zombie simulation to demonstrate how to run a simulation, create and analyze scenarios, introduce interventions, and plot results.
An interactive version of this notebook is available on Binder:
Starsim 2.1.1
Python 3.9 or newer
We recommend, but do not require, installing Starsim in a virtual environment, such as MiniForge.
Starsim is most easily installed via PyPI: pip install starsim.
Starsim can also be installed locally. To do this, clone first this repository, then run pip install -e . (don't forget the dot at the end!).
The Zombiesim repository can be cloned from GitHub or run in a Codespace.
Please refer to the IPython Notebook, zombie.ipynb. Supporting functions are provided in zombie.py.
Starsim documentation, including tutorials and an API reference, is available at https://docs.starsim.org.
