An advantage of this approach is that it requires fewer parameters to be defined compared to a model that simulates the full transmission dynamics over time, such as models in the [_epidemics_ package](https://epiverse-trace.github.io/epidemics/articles/epidemics.html). -_{{ packagename }}_ implements methods outlined in @andreasen2011, @miller2012, @kucharski2014, and @bidari2016. +_{{ packagename }}_ implements methods outlined in @andreasen2011, @miller2012, @kucharski2014, and @bidari2016. _{{ packagename }}_ can help provide rough estimates of the effectiveness of pharmaceutical interventions in the form of immunisation programmes, or the effect of naturally acquired immunity through previous infection (see the vignette).
