This readme file is for the script Stability_Verification.m

The script Stability_Verification.m is meant to be used along with the
paper "Extinction Pathways and Outbreak Vulnerability in a Stochastic Ebola Model" 
written by Garrett T. Nieddu, Lora Billings, James H. Kaufman, Eric Forgoston, 
and Simone Bianco.

The purpose of the script is to allow readers to verify the stability of the
deterministic Ebola System with the parameters given in the paper.

Instructions:

1. Create directory with unique name 'Name.Dir'

2. Save EVDmfe.m to 'Name.Dir'. This is the Ebola Virus Disease function file. 

3. Save Stability_Verification.m to 'Name.Dir'. This is a script that will use 
ode45 to numerically solve EVDmfe.m. The intitial condition will be the endemic
state. The script will output the numerical difference between the endemic state
and the end point of the numerical solution. The script will also output two plots
that graphically represent the numerical solution and the endemic state in both
a zoomed in and wide angle view. These plots will be saved as EPS files.

4. Go to Matlab and change directory so that you are working within 
directory 'Name.Dir'.

5. In Matlab command line type in Stability_Verification.m

6. If this fails please email Garrett T. Nieddu at GNieddu@gmail.com. Thanks!
