 # and another one acquired in 1995 with 10-year age categories. 
 Years <- c(1976,1992)
 FOI <- c(0.2,0.3)
 data1 <- simulate_SeroData(sampling_year = 2015, epidemic_years = Years, foi = FOI)
 data2 <- simulate_SeroData(sampling_year = 1995,age_class=10, epidemic_years = Years, foi = FOI)     
 data <- combine_surveys(data1,data2)
