Package sir.model Description

Provides a class hierarchy for the epidemic models.

Package Specification

A class hierarchy with an abstract base class containing SEIR and a SEIRwD model classes is provided; a model is seen as an instance of one of these classes containing all the parameters -- this allows all computations to work on this package. Hence, most of the math/statistics f the software is implemented in this package. This included calculating hazards, Gibbs-updating or Metropolis-Hastings updating of the parameters etc.
