- Standardizing estimates of the Plasmodium falciparum parasite rate

Algorithm Parameters
b	The slope, the rate that PfPR approaches the plateau (1.8 y^-1)
P'	PfPR in older children; the plateau (Variable)
α	The age when PfPR begins to decline (≈ 9.5 years)
1-s	The asymptotic sensitivity of microscopy (1-s ≈ 36%)
c	The rate that PfPR declines with age, after age α (0.07 y^-1)

The parameter names and interpretations in the algorithm based on the modified Pull & Grab equations.
