paramix: Aggregate and Disaggregate Continuous Parameters for Compartmental Models

A convenient framework for aggregating and disaggregating continuously varying parameters (for example, case fatality ratio, with age) for proper parametrization of lower-resolution compartmental models (for example, with broad age categories) and subsequent upscaling of model outputs to high resolution (for example, as needed when calculating age-sensitive measures like years-life-lost). Methods and application to calculating years of life lost are described in Goodfellow et al. (2025) <doi:10.1371/journal.pcbi.1013420>.
