![](man/figures/mapMCDA_overview.png)

`mapMCDA` helps producing __risk maps__ by weighting __risk factors__ using
__expert knowledge__.

The typical use case is the lack of (reliable) data about the
epidemics of a disease, but available information about well known
__risk factors__ (e.g. animal density, proximity to border, proximity
to water courses, etc.). 

In order to design a __stratified sampling__ or a __surveillance
campaign__, a preliminary risk map based on expert judgement is
required.

This package (and method) provides a systematic and guided approach
to build such maps.

The package include a Graphical User Interface (Shiny) that helps
in processing and weighting risk factors.

```{r eval = FALSE}
library(mapMCDA)
mapMCDA_app()
```
