Current libraries

ready4 libraries include tools for applying a modelling framework and for implementing computational models.

1 - Framework libraries

There are two types of framework libraries - a foundational library and libraries of authoring tools.

The two types of framework library are:

  • - the foundational ready4 module and syntax; and

  • - tools to implement standardised, semi-automated workflows for authoring and documenting computational models.

Currently available framework libraries are summarised below.

2 - Model module libraries

There are three types of model module libraries - those for describing input data, developing models and making predictions.

Computational models developed with ready4 are intended to be both transferable (they are tools that can be used in multiple decision contexts) and modular (they are comprised of self-contained components, each of which performs a narrow sub-set of tasks). For these reasons, ready4 computational models are developed and distributed as libraries of modules.

The three types of computational module libraries are:

  • - modules for describing and quality assuring model data;

  • - modules to specify, assess and report statisitical models; and

  • - modules for making predictions.

Currently available libraries of computational model modules are summarised below.
