Description

Function which uses equations representing 1) an estimate of prevalence given worm burden and clumping parameter and 2) estimated mean egg output per 10mL urine given worm burden, mating probability, DD fecundity, and peak egg release per 10mL to estimate the worm burden and clumping parameter from input egg burden and prevalence

Usage

1
egg_to_worm_fx(x, parms)

Arguments

x

initial estimates for the mean worm burden and clumping parameter, respectively

parms

input egg burden (measured from surveys) measured in eggs/10mL for the population group

Value

Value of the two equations given inputs, but is mostly irrelevant other than its use within multiroot (see function 'convert_burden_egg_to_worm')
