This function returns a template that can be use as model in an rjags
model
it requires two vectors with the number of subjects in the symptoms,
like fever in the case of malaria (n) and the number of non-symptomatic (m)
in each of the categories of results of the diagnostic test. The first
category is reserved for the negatives by the diagnostic test (in the malaria
case those with asexual density 0) and the rest categories each one with
higher values than the previous category.
