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. These issues are frequently overlooked,
        resulting in biased conclusions. Built on top of 'brms', it
        allows for flexible modelling including time-varying spatial
        components and partially pooled estimates of demographic
        characteristics.
