bpmodels 0.2.0

[jamesmbaazam]

Documentation

• chain_sim()'s help file has been updated with more details. In particular,
  we describe in detail how to specify the serial argument as a function. We
  have also added more examples.

• A new vignette describing how to project COVID-19 incidence with chain_sim()
  has been added and can be accessed on the
  bpmodels website under "Articles".

• The README's "quick start" section has been updated with what was
  previously the introduction vignette.

Minor functionality change

• chain_sim() now throws a warning, instead of an error, when tree is set
  to FALSE with serial also specified. Providing a serial interval implicitly
  means you want the tree of transmissions to be simulated, so chain_sim()
  internally sets tree = TRUE and throws a warning explaining what happened.
  This behaviour should not break any simulations with previous versions
  with bpmodels, but if it does, please submit an issue.
  To remove the warning, the user should explicitly set tree = TRUE when
  they specify serial.
