Welcome to the CareCascade Wiki!

I'm creating this as a place to document code development and track my progress. Everything here is a work in progress while I do some laundry on pre-existing code.

###To Do:

• 1. Interventions.
• 2. Intervention costs.
• 3. Transmission.
• 4. Discounting (DALY's and Cost from 2010 onwards.)
• 5. Into R.
• 6. Tests per person per year (Jeff's suggestion for an output.)

###Transmission: The transmission page on this Wiki is now out of date. The current version starts with incidence being driven by the number of incident cases of HIV in Kenya (from Spectrum), this is split up according to age and sex among the susceptible population. Infections are decided at the beginning of each year and then distributed throughout the year (with a PassInfection()) in the event that someone scheduled to get HIV dies naturally before acquiring it, infection can be passed to another individual. Just before 1st Jan 2002, Beta is calculated using the infectiousness of infected individuals then we calculate the number of incident cases by:

NewInfections = lambda * S(a,s) * IRR(a,s)

More details to follow...
