pharma_forecast: Pharmaceuticals Forecast

In mrc-ide/esft: WHO ESFT Calculations

Pharmaceuticals Forecast

Description

Takes total amounts of drugs per course, percent treated and new cases by severity, and yields estimates of the total drugs required for the forecast period. Note: due to differences in the norms around rounding (R rounds from 5 to the nearest even number, Excel rounds up from 5) - these numbers are slightly different from the numbers in the forecast file. If desired, the code can be modified to round up (replace round with ceiling in the body of the function).
