More epidemiological statistical methods

[fccoelho]

🚀 Feature Request

Go through the R Epitools package, and migrate all the functionality to Python.

Some of the functionalities can be mapped directly to existing Python implementations, so don't hesitate to stand on the shoulders of the scientific Python community.

🔈 Motivation

We need to have this functionality available for Python epidemiologists and Data Scientists.

🛰 Alternatives

Use the Rpy2 library to call the R library directly, But this may not be too efficient. There is Epipy as well: https://cmrivers.github.io/epipy/ But it seems to be abandoned

📎 Additional context

Here is the Epitools manual.
