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' by Ferreira de Almeida et al (2002)
        <doi:10.1371/journal.pntd.0010746>.
