title: 'REffectivePred: Pandemic Prediction Model in an SIRS Framework'
version: 1.0.1
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.REffectivePred
abstract: 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. Romanescu et al. <https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epidem.2023.100708>.
