Get started with a gentle introduction to modeling hubs.

Data Standards

The core of the hubverse are the robust and flexible data standards that allow administrators to write structured guidelines for tabular model output submissions that can be easily validated, ensembled, and visualized.

The data standards for each hub are represented as configuration files defined by the hubverse schema. These configuration files are the source of truth for the hub

Software

hubverse software is written in R and provides tools for all phases in the life cycle of a hub.

All of these packages are available at the hubverse R-Universe

Testimonials

West Nile Virus Forecasting Hub
We wanted to launch the first West Nile Virus Forecasting Challenge in the state of California to support existing efforts in reducing disease prevalence. The hubverse tools have been a crucial component in our setup as they allow for standard submission formats and validations, which encourage participation and collaborations from external teams.
