Interaction terms in the immune modifier calculation #23

Open JoRussell-IDM opened 5 years ago

JoRussell-IDM commented 5 years ago

Building on the logic used to combine the effects of the 5 primary dimensions defined by susceptibility (biological age, cumulative exposure, recent exposure, strain diversity, malaria free interval)

We ought to extend this to include contributions from interaction terms between these different dimensions.

This means that the claculation of immune modifier there would be 15 terms, each with a weighted coefficient that could be calibrated accordingly.
