contactsurveys: Download Contact Surveys for Use in Infectious Disease Modelling
Download, cache, and manage social contact survey data from
the social contact data community on Zenodo
(<https://zenodo.org/communities/social_contact_data>) for use in
infectious disease modelling. Provides functions to list available
surveys, download survey files with automatic caching, and retrieve
citations. Contact survey data describe who contacts whom in a population
and are used to parameterise age-structured transmission models, for
example via the 'socialmixr' package. The surveys available include those
from the POLYMOD study (Mossong et al. (2008)
<doi:10.1371/journal.pmed.0050074>) and other social contact data shared
on Zenodo.
