Description: Filtered (real-time/causal) and smoothed (retrospective)
        estimation of the time-varying effective reproduction number
        (Rt) from case-count time series, using the EpiFilter algorithm
        of Parag (2021) <doi:10.1371/journal.pcbi.1009347>, together
        with a one-step-ahead in-sample prediction check, a genuine
        out-of-sample one-step forecast with predictive intervals,
        elimination probability P(Rt < 1), and forecast calibration
        metrics (mean absolute error, mean squared error, root mean
        squared error, empirical coverage, and the weighted interval
        score of Bracher et al. (2021)
        <doi:10.1371/journal.pcbi.1008618>). Disease-agnostic: works
        for any pathogen given a known generation interval.
