Compute the likelihood for a single parasite count datum

Compute the likelihood for a single parasite count datum

llik_count(count, mu, sz, par_O, q = 6, bvm = 13)

Arguments

count

the parasite count

mu

the expected value for the count, given age

sz

the size parameter for a negative binomial distribution

par_O

parameters d_Omega

q

the sampling volume (in \(\log_{10} microliters\))

bvm

the blood volume (in \(\log_{10} microliters\))

Value

the negative log likelihood for the observation
