Releases: unige-geohealth/inAccessMod
Version 2.0
Release v2.0
Description
inAccessMod is an R package that allows the user to easily download and prepare all the required layers for the World Health Organization-recognized AccessMod software used to model physical accessibility to health care. The layer downloading, cropping, masking, projecting, resampling processes are automated to a large degree, making the preparation of the inputs quick and straightforward. The package includes additional functions to modify inputs and facilitate complex analyses (e.g. sub-national travel scenarios), to handle health facility data from The Health Resources and Services Availability Monitoring System (HeRAMS), and to perform specific result assessments (e.g. ranking of health facilities based on their coverage).
Changes
-
New Features:
- Expanded focus to include cities alongside countries.
- The operation can be performed in non-interactive mode.
-
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed an issue with the hf_best_cov function when catchments were nested within the selected best catchment.
Installation
You can install this version via:
devtools::install_github("unige-geohealth/inAccessMod", build_vignettes = TRUE, dependencies = TRUE))
Version 1.1
inAccessMod is an R package that allows the user to easily download and prepare all the required layers for the World Health Organization-recognized AccessMod software used to model physical accessibility to health care.

Main changes:
- Packages
rgdal
,gdalUtils
andrgeos
are not required anymore. Now we only useterra
andsf
for all operations involving spatial data. - Automated tests are now available.
Minor changes:
- Case-sensitivity issues have been solved (for Linux users).
- Tutorial has been improved.
- New example data for the additional functions (multi_ts and hf_best_cov), the ones that can be run outside the main pipeline, and that can be useful for AccessMod users.
- Addition of code example in the help pages.

Changes:
Sub-regional analysis: subset_regions
Mask original population raster when correcting, otherwise population outside region is counted
All HeRAMS_parameters in a list (.rda)
Name of functions for HeRAMS start with HeRAMS_
