This function modifies an object inheriting from class "epidata" such that it features the specified stop time points. For this purpose, the time interval in the event history into which the new stop falls will be split up into two parts, one block for the time period until the new stop -- where no infection or removal occurs -- and the other block for the time period from the new stop to the end of the original interval.
Main application is to enable the use of knots in twinSIR, which are not existing stop time points in the "epidata" object.

intersperse(epidata, stoptimes, verbose = FALSE)

## Arguments

epidata

an object inheriting from class "epidata".

stoptimes

a numeric vector of time points inside the observation period of the epidata.

verbose

logical indicating if a txtProgressBar should be shown while inserting blocks for extra stoptimes.

## Value

an object of the same class as epidata with additional time blocks for any new stoptimes.
