Warning! STIsim is still in the early stages of development. It is being shared solely for transparency and to facilitate collaborative development. It is not ready to be used for real research or policy questions.
STIsim is an agent-based modeling framework in which users can design and configure simulations of sexually-transmitted diseases. STIsim uses the Starsim architecture, and belongs to the Starsim model suite which also includes Covasim, HPVsim, and FPsim.
Python 3.9-3.12.
We recommend, but do not require, installing STIsim in a virtual environment, such as Anaconda.
STIsim is most easily installed via PyPI: pip install stisim.
STIsim can also be installed locally. To do this, clone first this repository, then run pip install -e . (don't forget the dot at the end!).
Documentation has not yet been developed, please watch this space!
