I accept these terms and conditions. Take me to the calculator.
Changes from version 1 (last update 15 April 2020):
- NOTE: all lines numbers refer to within the code on the linked calculator.
- Addition of ttrd2 and ttrd3 functions (lines 167-182 in code), for calculating time to results for d2 and d3 pooling strategies.
- Addition of dilmodel function (lines 202-205) for adjusting underlying viral dynamic model if contradicting information comes out later
- optDN function (lines 260-334) changed to loop through pool sizes, updating sensitivity when calculating efficiency at each step and selecting the pool size with the lowest value for efficiency
- opt function now generates errors for incompatible MAD/MAPS values
- Addition of calcMAPS and calcMAD functions (lines 377-396), for calculating MAPS based on an entered MAD value and vice versa
- MAPS value at MAD of 0.4 is now listed as 630 instead of 631 for consistency on using a floor function for MAPS (Line 456)
- Text updated to say that MAPS and MAD can be calculated by hand or using the buttons on the form (lines 460-462)
- Addition of buttons for calculating MAPS and MAD (lines 506 and 515)
- Time to results added to table (lines 556-577)
- Explanation of time to results from JID paper added (line 584)
- Legacy code from April 15 is linked here for reference.
