endemic_outliers

Function that modifies an historic incidence by including,
ignoring or replacing the observations of epidemic years

internal

Provides statistical and visualization tools for the analysis
of demographic indicators, and spatio-temporal behavior and
characterization of outbreaks of vector-borne diseases (VBDs) in
Colombia. It implements travel times estimated in Bravo-Vega C.,
Santos-Vega M., & Cordovez J.M. (2022), and the endemic channel method
(Bortman, M. (1999) <https://iris.paho.org/handle/10665.2/8562>).
