convert_to_logsd

<a href="https://lifecycle.r-lib.org/articles/stages.html#stable"><img src="figures/lifecycle-stable.svg?package=EpiNow2&version=1.6.1" alt="[Stable]"></a>
Convert from mean and standard deviation to the log standard deviation of the
lognormal distribution. Useful for defining distributions supported by
<code>estimate_infections()</code>, <code>epinow()</code>, and <code>regional_epinow()</code>.

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.
