Description: Provides tools to easily compute a series of epidemiological
    indicators to characterise different transmission profiles of infectious
    diseases with a simple pipeline: format the dates in epiyearweek format,
    choose the descriptors and their parameters, and compute them. The
    package is based on the publication 'How heterogeneous is the dengue
    transmission profile in Brazil? A study in six Brazilian states'
    <doi:10.1371/journal.pntd.0010746>.
