nll_exposed_infected {anovir} | R Documentation |
Negative log-likelihood function: exposed-infected
Description
Function returning negative log-likelihood (nll) for patterns of mortality in infected and control treatments, where the infected population harbours an unobserved proportion of hosts that were exposed to infection, but did not become infected.
Usage
nll_exposed_infected(
a1 = a1,
b1 = b1,
a2 = a2,
b2 = b2,
p1 = p1,
data = data,
time = time,
censor = censor,
infected_treatment = infected_treatment,
d1 = "Weibull",
d2 = "Weibull"
)
Arguments
a1 , b1 |
location and scale parameters for background mortality |
a2 , b2 |
location and scale parameters for mortality due to infection |
p1 |
unobserved proportion of hosts exposed to infection and infected; 0 <= p1 <= 1 |
data |
name of data frame containing survival data |
time |
name of data frame column identifying time of event; time > 0 |
censor |
name of data frame column idenifying if event was death (0) or right-censoring (1) |
infected_treatment |
name of data frame column identifying if data are from an infected (1) or uninfected (0) treatment |
d1 , d2 |
names of probability distributions chosen to describe background mortality and mortality due to infection, respectively'; both default to the Weibull distribution |
Details
This function returns the nll based on five parameters, the location and scale parameters for background mortality and mortality due to infection, respectively, plus a parameter for the proportion of hosts that became infected when exposed to infection.
