abstract: Provides methods to estimate serial intervals and time-varying case reproduction
  numbers from infectious disease outbreak data. Serial intervals measure the time
  between symptom onset in linked transmission pairs, while case reproduction numbers
  quantify how many secondary cases each infected individual generates over time.
  These parameters are essential for understanding transmission dynamics, evaluating
  control measures, and informing public health responses. The package implements
  the maximum likelihood framework from Vink et al. (2014) <https://doi.org/10.1093/aje/kwu209>
  for serial interval estimation and the retrospective method from Wallinga & Lipsitch
  (2007) <https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2006.3754> for reproduction number estimation.
  Originally developed for scabies transmission analysis but applicable to other infectious
  diseases including influenza, COVID-19, and emerging pathogens. Designed for epidemiologists,
  public health researchers, and infectious disease modelers working with outbreak
  surveillance data.
