Package: dust Title: Iterate Multiple Realisations of Stochastic Models Version: 0.15.3 Authors@R: c(person("Rich", "FitzJohn", role = c("aut", "cre"), email = "rich.fitzjohn@gmail.com"), person("Alex", "Hill", role = "aut"), person("John", "Lees", role = "aut"), person("Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine", role = "cph")) Description: An Engine for simulation of stochastic models. Includes support for running stochastic models in parallel, either with shared or varying parameters. Simulations are run efficiently in compiled code and can be run with a fraction of simulated states returned to R, allowing control over memory usage. Support is provided for building bootstrap particle filter for performing Sequential Monte Carlo (e.g., Gordon et al. 1993 ). The core of the simulation engine is the 'xoshiro256**' algorithm (Blackman and Vigna ), and the package is further described in FitzJohn et al 2021 .
