Released projects and packages

These projects are in a usable form. Packages have been developed following RECON’s standards, are fully functional, documented and tested, and have been released on CRAN.

distcrete

EpiEstim

Quantifying transmissibility throughout an epidemic from incidence time series.

earlyR

epicontacts

Handling, visualisation and analysis of epidemiological contacts.

epitrix

Small helpers and tricks for epidemics analysis

incidence

Computation, handling, visualisation and simple modelling of incidence.

aweek

Convert dates to arbitrary week definitions including epiweek, isoweek, and more

outbreaker2

Modular framework for outbreak reconstruction.
