Description: Implements multiple existing open-source algorithms for
        coding cause of death from verbal autopsies. The methods
        implemented include 'InterVA4' by Byass et al (2012)
        <doi:10.3402/gha.v5i0.19281>, 'InterVA5' by Byass at al (2019)
        <doi:10.1186/s12916-019-1333-6>, 'InSilicoVA' by McCormick et
        al (2016) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2016.1152191>, 'NBC' by
        Miasnikof et al (2015) <doi:10.1186/s12916-015-0521-2>, and a
        replication of 'Tariff' method by James et al (2011)
        <doi:10.1186/1478-7954-9-31> and Serina, et al. (2015)
        <doi:10.1186/s12916-015-0527-9>. It also provides tools for
        data manipulation tasks commonly used in Verbal Autopsy
        analysis and implements easy graphical visualization of
        individual and population level statistics. The 'NBC' method is
        implemented by the 'nbc4va' package that can be installed from
        <https://github.com/rrwen/nbc4va>. Note that this package was
        not developed by authors affiliated with the Institute for
        Health Metrics and Evaluation and thus unintentional
        discrepancies may exist in the implementation of the 'Tariff'
        method.
