A library of published compartmental epidemic models, and classes to represent demographic structure, non-pharmaceutical interventions, and vaccination regimes, to compose epidemic scenarios.
This issue is to flag a potential need for functionality that can ingest time and covariate data, and convert it to a function of the form f(t, x) for use with the time_dependence argument in epidemic_x(...).
One thing that would be useful consider for next version is how to convert temporal data (e.g. vaccine coverage over time) into a continuous function for easy incorporation into {epidemics}/ODE model – as this conversion is often one of the more time-consuming pre-processing tasks when dealing with temporal interventions. {odin} has some useful interpolation functions we may want to lean on if relevant (as it's on CRAN): https://mrc-ide.github.io/odin/articles/odin.html
