[R-sig-eco] backcalculation of HIV infection rates

[stephen sefick]

It seems like that would not be that hard, but it is not in my area.
My advice is to break the problem up, write code for each sub-problem,
and then combine all of the little functions into one big function to
"solve" the problem.
my two cents,

Let's not spend our time and resources thinking about things that are
so little or so large that all they really do for us is puff us up and
make us feel like gods.  We are mammals, and have not exhausted the
annoying little problems of being mammals.
