IxPopDyMod 0.2.0

• Added new configs to the package.
  • ogden2005, which replicates an existing deer tick population model by Ogden et al. (2005).
  • winter_tick, based on literature on the winter tick and used as an example of the package’s flexibility for studying different tick species.
  • host_example_config, infect_example_config, and temp_example_config, which are used as examples of package use. Added examples with these configs to the readme.
• Generalized config() to take a single predictors argument, instead of separate weather and host_comm arguments. This simplifies the config() structure, and allows using other types of data as a predictor for transitions.
  • write_config() arguments are updated to reflect this change.
  • Some internal functions are updated to support this change.
• Added snow_cover_fun() transition function which is used in the winter_tick model configuration.
• Fixed write_config() to write steps and initial population as integers rather than decimal numbers.
