Produce an epidemiological risk map by weighting multiple risk factors.

Details

The typical use case is the lack of (reliable) data about the epidemics of a disease, but available information about well known risk factors (e.g. animal density, proximity to border, proximity to water courses, etc.). In order to design a stratified sampling or a surveillance campaign, a preliminar risk map based on expert judgement is required. This package (and method) provides a systematic and guided approach to build such maps.

mapMCDA provides a Shiny graphical user interface launched with mapMCDA_app(). It can also be used from command line and scripted. You can see an example (in french) in the vignette Overview.
