		Statistical Tools for Modelling Climate-Health Impacts // 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, see Watkins
