epiparameter: Classes and Helper Functions for Working with Epidemiological Parameters

Classes and helper functions for loading, extracting, converting, manipulating, plotting and aggregating epidemiological parameters for infectious diseases. Epidemiological parameters extracted from the literature are loaded from the 'epiparameterDB' R package.
