rename model structure in Matlab
Description of the feature
As a new person to Human-GEM, I want the Matlab model structure to be named something intuitive and easy, so that the code that I write makes more sense.
Expected feature/value/output:
Currently, the Matlab structure of the model is named ihuman. While this is for historical reasons, it does no longer serve a purpose. Moreover, it adds inconsistency, as there is no explanation/justification for this name choice, and it not used in other places. Therefore, what is expected is a more sensible name choice.
I hereby confirm that I have:
- [x] Tested my code on my own computer for running the model
- [x] Done this analysis in the
mainbranch of the repository - [x] Checked that a similar issue does not exist already
what do you mean by a more sensible name
Instead of following the legacy naming scheme that seems no longer relevant, a more sensible choice would be something that is familiar for the user, intuitive and Matlab compatible such as human_gem or HumanGEM. Other ideas are to base it on hsa or hsapiens.
@mihai-sysbio thanks for the ideas. HumanGEM seems to be a better name than human_gem , what do you think?
