swash 2.0.0

Breaking changes (Non-backwards compatible)

• Analyses are conducted via infpan objects rather than sbm objects
• Former method plot_regions() for class sbm is replaced by generic method plot() for infpan objects
• Former methods growth() and growth_initial() for sbm objects are are now methods for the infpan class
• Former function plot_breakpoints() is replaced by function breaks_growth() and the corresponding plot() method

New features

• Importing infections panel data via load_infections_paneldata(), which creates and instance of the new class infpan
• Calculation of spread indicators for infpan objects such as incidence and effective reproduction number \(R_t\)
• Function hawkes_growth() for parametrization of a Hawkes process equation for infections
• Method growth_hawkes() for parametrization of Hawkes process equations based on infpan objects
• Additional NLS estimation in function exponential_growth()
• Option to add a constant (if values of y equal to zero occur) in functions logistic_growth() and exponential_growth(), as well as in methods growth(infpan) and growth_initial(infpan)

Bugfixes

• Functions metrics(), binary_metrics() and binary_metrics_glm() now return results invisible
• Check for equal length of input vectors in logistic_growth()
