pyrenew is a flexible tool for simulation and statistical inference of epidemiological models, emphasizing renewal models. Built on top of the numpyro Python library, pyrenew provides core components for model building, including pre-defined models for processing various types of observational processes. To start, visit the tutorials section on the project's website here.
The following diagram illustrates the composition of the HospitalAdmissionsModel class. Notably, all components are modular and can be replaced with custom implementations.
