Estimates the time-varying reproduction number, rate of spread, and doubling time using a range of open-source tools (Abbott et al. (2020) tools:::Rd_expr_doi("10.12688/wellcomeopenres.16006.1")), and current best practices (Gostic et al. (2020) tools:::Rd_expr_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.
