adrian-lison/EpiSewer: EpiSewer v0.0.2

EpiSewer v.0.0.2 brings various improvements in terms of robustness and flexibility of the model and interface. Important features are

• Updated, now fully-fledged model for digital PCR measurements
• Additional epidemiological indicators (growth rate, doubling time)
• More flexible and less error-prone specification of shedding profile
• Modeling of individual-level variation in shedding loads
• Increased robustness to outliers due to new default observation likelihood (Gamma)
• Better plotting functions, with new features (e.g. faceting between models, plotting outliers)
• Forecasting
• Improved runtime in many instances.

These new features also come with a considerable number of breaking changes, unfortunately. Code running with EpiSewer v.0.0.1 will likely stop working and needs to be adapted by consulting the README and detailed example vignette.
