In cmhoove14/DDNTD: Density Dependence in Neglected Tropical Diseases

Description

We have four unknown parameters and four solvable equations. This function takes inputs and puts them into equations to estimate the value of these four unkown parameters, alpha, beta, omega, and N_eq, from inputs: adult infection (prevalence and intensity), child infection (prevalence and intensity), child and adult population sizes, infected snail prevalence

Usage

age_strat_fit_mod(x, I, W_A, prev_A, H_A, W_C, prev_C, H_C, pars)

Arguments

x	input estimates of parameters beta, N_eq, alpha, and omega (IN THAT ORDER)
I	infected snail prevalence
W_A	estimated mean worm burden in adult population
prev_A	estimated prevalence in adult population
H_A	adult population size
W_C	estimated mean worm burden in child population
prev_C	estimated prevalence in child population
H_C	child population size
parameters	parameter set of other key parameters

Value

Vector of four equation solutions
