abstract: Implements multiple existing open-source algorithms for coding cause of
  death from verbal autopsies. The methods implemented include 'InterVA4' by Byass
  et al (2012) <https://doi.org/10.3402/gha.v5i0.19281>, 'InterVA5' by Byass at al
  (2019) <https://doi.org/10.1186/s12916-019-1333-6>, 'InSilicoVA' by McCormick et
  al (2016) <https://doi.org/10.1080/01621459.2016.1152191>, 'NBC' by Miasnikof et
  al (2015) <https://doi.org/10.1186/s12916-015-0521-2>, and a replication of 'Tariff'
  method by James et al (2011) <https://doi.org/10.1186/1478-7954-9-31> and Serina,
  et al. (2015) <https://doi.org/10.1186/s12916-015-0527-9>. It also provides tools
  for data manipulation tasks commonly used in Verbal Autopsy analysis and implements
  easy graphical visualization of individual and population level statistics. The
  'NBC' method is implemented by the 'nbc4va' package that can be installed from <https://github.com/rrwen/nbc4va>.
  Note that this package was not developed by authors affiliated with the Institute
  for Health Metrics and Evaluation and thus unintentional discrepancies may exist
  in the implementation of the 'Tariff' method.
