R code for fitting a transmission model of bovine tuberculosis to a population of wild badgers
[This application is embargoed until February 12, 2026]. This resource provides code to fit a transmission model of bovine tuberculosis spread to a population of wild badgers in Woodchester Park in the UK. The code produces Markov chain Monte Carlo samples from a model fitted to individual-level badger data from Woodchester Park. The badger data came from and can be requested from the Animal and Plant Health Agency. Example outputs are provided in the Supporting Information. This code was developed as part of a Natural Environment Research Council funded grant (number NE/V000616/1). Full details about this application can be found at

- Statement
- The code was developed and tested in R over a two-year project. Careful checks on the fitted model outputs against the observed data were done in order to assess the efficacy of the code and the models developed. These are all shown in the Supporting Information.
