Simulate serosurvey data based on general serocatalytic model.

This simulation method assumes only that the model system can be written as a piecewise-linear ordinary differential equation system.

Usage

simulate_serosurvey_general_model(
  construct_A_function,
  calculate_seropositivity_function,
  initial_conditions,
  survey_features,
  ...
)

Arguments

calculate_seropositivity_function

A function which takes the state vector and returns the seropositive fraction.

initial_conditions

The initial state vector proportions for each birth cohort.

survey_features

A dataframe containing information about the binned age groups and sample sizes for each. It should contain columns: 'age_min', 'age_max', 'sample_size'.

Value

A dataframe with simulated serosurvey data, including age group information, overall sample sizes, the number of seropositive individuals, and other survey features.
