6 Code access

Simulation model code is available from the main branch of the Github repository: https://github.com/pythonhealthdatascience/stars-ciw-example. All simulation model code is contained within ciw_model.py.

Shiny web app

The ciw model has been given a Shiny for Python interface. This allows users to easily experiment with the simulation model. The web app is hosted on a free tier of shinyapps.io. The app can be accessed at https://pythonhealthdatascience.shinyapps.io/stars-ciw-examplar.

This is a free service. If the app has not been used for a while it will be “asleep” to save resources. Please be patient while the app “wakes up”. This will be a short time.

Online Notebooks via Binder

The python code for the model has been setup to run online in Jupyter notebooks via binder

Binder is a free service. If it has not been used in a while Binder will need to re-containerise the code repository, and push to binderhub. This will take several minutes. After that the online environment will be quick to load.
