time_to_numeric

This function converts from real times/dates to numeric times
 (0, 1, 2, ...)

Contains a collection of helper functions to use with 'rbi', the R
interface to 'LibBi', described in
Murray et al. (2015) <doi:10.18637/jss.v067.i10>. It contains functions to
adapt the proposal distribution and number of particles in
particle Markov-Chain Monte Carlo, as well as calculating the
Deviance Information Criterion (DIC) and converting between times in 'LibBi'
results and R time/dates.
