Description: Tools for producing climate-health indicators and supporting
              official statistics from health and climate data. Implements analytical
              workflows for temperature-related mortality, wildfire smoke exposure,
              air pollution, suicides related to extreme heat, malaria, and
              diarrhoeal disease outcomes, with utilities for descriptive statistics, model
              validation, attributable fraction and attributable number estimation,
              relative risk estimation, minimum mortality temperature estimation,
              and plotting for reporting. These six indicators are endorsed by
              the United Nations Statistical Commission for inclusion in the
              Global Set of Environment and Climate Change Statistics.
              Implemented methods include distributed lag non-linear models (DLNM),
              quasi-Poisson time-series regression, case-crossover analysis,
              Bayesian spatio-temporal models using the Integrated Nested Laplace
              Approximation ('INLA'), and multivariate meta-analysis for
              sub-national estimates. The package is based on methods developed
              in the Standards for Official Statistics on Climate-Health
              Interactions (SOSCHI) project
              <https://climate-health.officialstatistics.org>. For methodologies,
