Detection of infection given parasitemia

d_detect_mesh(xi_mesh, xi_density, bvm = 13, par_sample = par_nb())

Arguments

xi_mesh

a mesh over \(\log_{10}\) parasite densities

xi_density

the density distribution for parasites over xi_mesh

bvm

blood volume as \(\log_{10}\) red blood cells

par_sample

parameters that define a detection function

Value

the fraction of infected hosts that would test positive
