In olatunjijohnson/SDALGCP: Spatially Discrete Approximation to Log-Gaussian Cox Processes for Aggregated Disease Count Data

#' SDALGCP: A package to make continuous inference from spatially aggregated disease count data.
#'
#' @description The SDALGCP package provides four main functions:
#' \code{SDALGCPMCML}, \code{SDALGCPMCML_ST},  \code{SDALGCPPred} and \code{SDALGCPPred_ST}.
#'
#' @section SDALGCP functions:
#' The \link{SDALGCPMCML} function uses Monte Carlo Maximum Likelihood to estimate the parameter of a
#' poisson log-linear model with spatially continuous random effect for static spatial case.
#'
#' The \link{SDALGCPPred} function delivers spatially discrete prediction of the incidence and the
#' covariate adjusted relative risk and spatially continuous prediction of the covariate adjusted relative risk for static spatial case.
#'
#' The \link{SDALGCPMCML_ST} function uses Monte Carlo Maximum Likelihood to estimate the parameter of a
#' poisson log-linear model with spatially continuous random effect for spatio-temporal case.
#'
#' The \link{SDALGCPPred_ST} function delivers spatially discrete prediction of the incidence and the
#' covariate adjusted relative risk and spatially continuous prediction of the covariate adjusted relative risk for spatio-temporal case.
#'
#' Functions such as \link{summary}, \link{confint}  and \link{print} also can be applied to the output.
