tune_inv_gamma

<a href="https://lifecycle.r-lib.org/articles/stages.html#deprecated"><img src="figures/lifecycle-deprecated.svg?package=EpiNow2&version=1.4.0" alt="[Deprecated]"></a>
Allows an inverse gamma distribution to be. tuned so that less than 0.01 of
its probability mass function falls outside of the specified bounds. This is
required when using an inverse gamma prior, for example for a Gaussian
process. As no inverse gamma priors are currently in use and this function
has some stability issues it has been deprecated.

Estimates the time-varying reproduction number,
rate of spread, and doubling time using a range of open-source tools
(Abbott et al. (2020) <doi:10.12688/wellcomeopenres.16006.1>), and
current best practices (Gostic et al. (2020)
<doi:10.1101/2020.06.18.20134858>). It aims to help users avoid some
of the limitations of naive implementations in a framework that is
informed by community feedback and is actively supported.
