In mrc-ide/YFestimation: Estimate ecological niche and two transmission models for yellow fever in Africa.

Description

function estimate a value for the pseudo prior in order to have even mixing. Note, this is based on initial parameter values so may need adjusting.

Usage

setup_pseudoprior(pars_ini, posterior_distributions, scale_model_type,
  tolerance = 0.01)

Arguments

pars_ini	vector of initial parameters for seroprevalence
posterior_distributions	distribution parameters for each model pseudo priors
scale_model_type	the model whose posterior distribution sd is to be scaled
tolerance	how close the difference between the pseudo prior probabilities shoud be at the initial parameters. Defaults to 0.01

Value

Estimate of scaling factor of scale_model_type posterior distributions sd- assuming they are normally distributed
