Description: Understanding and accurately estimating epidemiological
        delay distributions is important for public health policy.
        These estimates influence epidemic situational awareness,
        control strategies, and resource allocation. This package
        provides methods to address the key challenges in estimating
        these distributions, including truncation, interval censoring,
        and dynamical biases, following Park et al. (2024)
        <doi:10.1101/2024.01.12.24301247> and Charniga et al. (2024)
        <doi:10.1371/journal.pcbi.1012520>. These issues are frequently
        overlooked, resulting in biased conclusions. Built on top of
        'brms', it allows for flexible modelling including time-varying
        and spatial effects and partially pooled estimates of
        demographic characteristics.
