Why ready4 is object oriented
ready4 uses an object oriented programming (OOP) paradigm to implement computational models.
Categories:
Authoring model data structures
The ready4class R package supports partially automated and standardised workflows for defining the data structures to be used in computational models.

Syntax
ready4 modules use a simple and consistent syntax.
Categories:
Authoring model algorithms
The ready4fun R package supports standardised approaches to code authoring that facilitate partial automation of the documenting of model algorithms.

Authoring model data
The ready4use R package provides tools for supplying data to youth mental health computational models.
Categories:
Search open access data collections
Online open access data repositories are the preferred storage locations for ready4 model datasets.
Categories:
Share data via online repositories
The retrieval and dissemination of data from online data repositories is an essential enabler of open source modelling. This tutorial describes how a module from the ready4use R package can help you to manage this process.
Categories:
Authoring scientific manuscripts
Tools from the ready4show R package support authoring of scientific summaries of analyses with ready4.
Categories:
Add metadata to datasets of individual human records
Appending appropriate metadata to datasets of individual unit records can facilitate partial automation of some modelling tasks. This tutorial describes how a module from the youthvars R package can help you to add metadata to a youth mental health dataset so that it can be more readily used by other ready4 modules.
Categories:
Add a data dictionary to a dataset
Pairing a dataset with its dictionary makes it easier to interpret. This tutorial describes how a module from the ready4use R package can help you to pair a dataset and its dictionary.
Categories:
Validate variable total scores
Vector based classes can be used to help validate variable values. This tutorial describes how to do that with sub-module classes exported as part of the youthvars R package.
Categories:
Authoring reproducible analyses
Tools from the ready4show R package support authoring of programs and subroutines to implement and report analyses with ready4.
Categories:
Score health utility
Using modules from the scorz R package, individual responses to a multi-attribute utility instrument survey can be converted into health utility total scores. This tutorial describes how to do for adolescent AQoL-6D health utility.
Categories:
Explore candidate utility mapping models
Using modules from the specific R package, it is possible to undertake an exploratory utility mapping analysis. This tutorial illustrates a hypotehtical example of exploring how to map to EQ-5D health utility.
Categories:
Implement a utility mapping study
Using modules from the TTU R package, it is possible to implement a fully reproducible utility mapping study. This tutorial illustrates the main steps using a hypothetical AQoL-6D utility mapping study.
Categories:
Find and deploy utility mapping models
Using tools (soon to be formalised into ready4 modules) from the youthu R package, it is possible to find and deploy relevant utility mapping algorithms. This tutorial illustrates the main steps for predicting AQoL-6D utility from psychological and functional measures collected on clinical samples of young people.
Categories:
Design a Discrete Choice Experiment
We used functions (soon to be formalised into ready4 modules) from the mychoice R package to design to a discrete choice experiment.
Categories:
Use utility mapping algorithms to help implement cost-utility analyses
Using tools (soon to be formalised into ready4 framework modules) from the youthu R package, it is possible to use utility mapping algorithms to help implement cost-utility analyses. This tutorial illustrates the main steps for doing so using psychological and functional measures collected on clinical samples of young people.
