The idea behind the development of this package is to have the flexibility to * Update or otherwise modify the input data without needing to update the model package itself * Curate reference websites for the source data files and develop semi-automated workflows to maintain them up-to-date * Ensure compatibility of the input data with the working version of the _daedalus_ model This vignette demonstates how to use _daedalus.data_ with the DAEDALUS model, as adapted from @haw2022 in R. The package provides data from @walker2020 on country demography, country workforce per economic sector, and social contacts between age groups in `country_data`. The package also provides data from @jarvis2024 on workplace contacts in economic sectors. Both datasets are accessed by internal functions to reduce the need for user input. ```{r libraries} library(daedalus.data) library(daedalus) ``` ## References
