Compute the MLE for parasite counts data

counts_MLE(alpha, counts, inits, F_b, F_Sa, q = 6, bvm = 13, SANN = FALSE)

Arguments

alpha: the ages of infection
counts: the counts
inits: the initial guesses for the parameters
F_b: a function to constrain the upper bound for fitting for Fmu
F_Sa: a function to constrain the slope for fitting for Fmu
q: the sampling volume (in $\log_{10} microliters$ )
bvm: the blood volume (in $\log_{10} microliters$ )
SANN: if true, then use simulated annealing

Value

the fitted parameter values and the log likelihood
