New Release: MicSim R Package Update
A new version of the MicSim R package by Sabine Zinn, Felix von Heusinger and Camila Weber is now available — bringing enhanced performance and new examples to support researchers.
MicSim enables researchers to simulate individual life courses using continuous-time microsimulation. Whether you’re modeling demographic transitions, educational pathways, family formation, or migration flows, MicSim offers a flexible framework for applications in demography, social sciences, and epidemiology. Life-course trajectories are defined using a continuous-time multi-state model, as described in Zinn (2014).
What’s New in This Version:
- New examples by Alex Lepe and Felix von Heusinger showcase practical applications of MicSim in research.
- Improved simulation engine: The ‘duration’ argument is now optional when not required, streamlining the simulation process.
- Enhanced usability: Several refinements have been made to improve the overall user experience.
