Description: A suite of methods to fit and predict case count data
        using a compartmental SIRS (Susceptible – Infectious –
        Recovered – Susceptible) model, based on an assumed
        specification of the effective reproduction number. The
        significance of this approach is that it relates epidemic
        progression to the average number of contacts of infected
        individuals, which decays as a function of the total
        susceptible fraction remaining in the population. The main
        functions are pred.curve(), which computes the epidemic curve
        for a set of parameters, and estimate.mle(), which finds the
        best fitting curve to observed data. The easiest way to pass
        arguments to the functions is via a config file, which contains
        input settings required for prediction, and the package offers
        two methods, navigate_to_config() which points the user to the
        configuration file, and re_predict() for starting the
        fit-predict process. The main model was published in Razvan G.
