R Code Description

This document describes the steps and components of the provided R code for creating and running serological models using simulated data. The code defines observational models, antibody kinetics models, and runs inference using MCMC methods.


Step 1: Load Required Libraries

Step 2: Read Simulated Data

This data has been generated using serosim.

sim_model_cop <- readRDS(file = "cesCOP_inputs.RDS")
sim_res_cop <- readRDS(file = "cesCOP_sim_data_0.5.rds")

#modeli <- readRDS(file = system.file("extdata", "vig_data", "cesCOP", "cesCOP_inputs.RDS", package = "serojump"))
#res <- readRDS(file = system.file("extdata","vig_data", "cesCOP", "cesCOP_sim_data_0.5.RDS", package = "serojump"))

#modeli <- readRDS(file = "cesCOP_inputs.RDS")
#modeli <- readRDS(file = "cesCOP_sin_data_0.5.RDS")

data_titre_model <- sim_res_cop$observed_biomarker_states %>% select(i, t, value) %>% rename(id = i, time = t, titre = value) 
data_titre_model <- data_titre_model %>% mutate(biomarker = "sVNT") %>% as.data.frame %>% rename(sVNT = titre)

Step 3: Define Likelihood and Kinetics Functions

obsLogLikelihood <- function(titre_val, titre_est, pars) {
    ll <- dnorm(titre_val, titre_est, pars[1], log = TRUE)
}

infSerumKinetics <- function(titre_est, timeSince, pars) {
    a <- pars[1]
    b <- pars[2]
    c <- pars[3]
    if (timeSince < 14) {
        titre_est <- titre_est + log(exp(a) + exp(c)) * (timeSince) / 14;
    } else {
        titre_est <- titre_est + log(exp(a) * exp(-b/10 * (timeSince - 14)) + exp(c));
    }
    titre_est
}

noInfSerumKinetics <- function(titre_est, timeSince, pars) {
    titre_est_log <- titre_est - pars[1] * (timeSince)
    titre_est_log <- max(0, titre_est_log)
    titre_est_log
}

Step 4: Define the Observational and Kinetics Models

# Define the biomarkers and exposure types in the model
biomarkers <- c("sVNT")
exposureTypes <- c("none", "inf")
exposureFitted <- "inf"

# Define the observational model
observationalModel <- list(
    names = c("sVNT"),
    model = makeModel(
        addObservationalModel("sVNT", c("sigma"), obsLogLikelihood)
        ), # observational model,
    prior = bind_rows(
            add_par_df("sigma", 0.0001, 4, "unif", 0.0001, 4)
    )
)

# Define the antibody kinetics model
abkineticsModel <- list(
    model = makeModel(
            addAbkineticsModel("none", "sVNT", "none",  c("wane"), noInfSerumKinetics),
            addAbkineticsModel("inf", "sVNT", "inf", c("a", "b", "c"), infSerumKinetics)
        ),
    prior = bind_rows(
        add_par_df("wane", 0.0, 0.01, "unif", 0.0, 0.01), # observational model
        add_par_df("a", -6, 6, "norm",  2, 2), # ab kinetics
        add_par_df("b", 0, 1, "norm",  0.3, 0.05), # ab kinetics
        add_par_df("c", 0, 4, "unif", 0,  4) # ab kinetics 
    )
)

inf_prior <- function(N, E, I, K) {
    N_adj <- N - K
    E_adj <- E - K 
    logPriorExpInf <- lfactorial(E_adj) + lfactorial(N_adj - E_adj) - lfactorial(N_adj ) 
    logPriorExpInf
}

modeldefinition_cop <- list(
    biomarkers = biomarkers,
    exposureTypes = exposureTypes,
    exposureFitted = exposureFitted,
    observationalModel = observationalModel,
    abkineticsModel = abkineticsModel,
    expInfPrior = inf_prior
)

model_cop <- createSeroJumpModel(data_titre_model, NULL, modeldefinition_cop)
## OUTLINE OF INPUTTED MODEL
## There are  1  measured biomarkers:  sVNT 
## There are  2  exposure types in the study period:  none, inf 
## The fitted exposure type is  inf 
## PRIOR DISTRIBUTIONS 
## Prior parameters of observationalModel are:  sigma 
## Prior parameters of abkineticsModel are:  wane, a, b, c 
## Exposure rate is not defined over the time period. Defaulting to uniform distribution between 1 and  119 .

Step 4B: Prerun sanity plots

Before running the whole model it is good to check the data and the priors. This can be done using a suit of functions plotPriors function.

p1 <- plotSero(model_cop)
p2 <- plotPriorPredictive(model_cop)
p3 <- plotPriorInfection(model_cop)
p1 / p2

p3

Step 5: Define the Complete Model

sim_model_no_cop <- readRDS(file = "cesNoCOP_inputs.RDS")
sim_res_no_cop <- readRDS(file = "cesNoCOP_sim_data_0.5.rds")

#modeli <- readRDS(file = system.file("extdata", "vig_data", "cesNoCOP", "cesNoCOP_inputs.RDS", package = "serojump"))
#res <- readRDS(file = system.file("extdata", "vig_data", "cesNoCOP", "cesNoCOP_sim_data_0.5.RDS", package = "serojump"))

data_titre_model <- sim_res_no_cop$observed_biomarker_states %>% select(i, t, value) %>% rename(id = i, time = t, titre = value) 
data_titre_model <- data_titre_model %>% mutate(biomarker = "sVNT") %>% as.data.frame %>% rename(sVNT = titre)
obsLogLikelihood <- function(titre_val, titre_est, pars) {
    ll <- dnorm(titre_val, titre_est, pars[1], log = TRUE)
}

infSerumKinetics <- function(titre_est, timeSince, pars) {
    a <- pars[1]
    b <- pars[2]
    c <- pars[3]
    if (timeSince < 14) {
        titre_est <- titre_est + log(exp(a) + exp(c)) * (timeSince) / 14;
    } else {
        titre_est <- titre_est + log(exp(a) * exp(-b/10 * (timeSince - 14)) + exp(c));
    }
    titre_est
}

noInfSerumKinetics <- function(titre_est, timeSince, pars) {
    titre_est_log <- titre_est - pars[1] * (timeSince)
    titre_est_log <- max(0, titre_est_log)
    titre_est_log
}
# Define the biomarkers and exposure types in the model

# Define the observational model
observationalModel <- list(
    names = c("sVNT"),
    model = makeModel(
        addObservationalModel("sVNT", c("sigma"), obsLogLikelihood)
        ), # observational model,
    prior = bind_rows(
            add_par_df("sigma", 0.0001, 2, "exp", 1, NA)
    )
)

# Define the antibody kinetics model
abkineticsModel <- list(
    model = makeModel(
            addAbkineticsModel("none", "sVNT", "none",  c("wane"), noInfSerumKinetics),
            addAbkineticsModel("inf", "sVNT", "inf", c("a", "b", "c"), infSerumKinetics)
        ),
    prior = bind_rows(
        add_par_df("wane", 0.0, 0.01, "unif", 0.0, 0.01), # observational model
        add_par_df("a", -6, 6, "norm",  2, 2), # ab kinetics
        add_par_df("b", 0, 1, "norm",  0.3, 0.05), # ab kinetics
        add_par_df("c", 0, 4, "unif", 0,  4) # ab kinetics 
    )
)

inf_prior <- function(N, E, I, K) {
    N_adj <- N - K
    E_adj <- E - K 
    logPriorExpInf <- lfactorial(E_adj) + lfactorial(N_adj - E_adj) - lfactorial(N_adj ) 
    logPriorExpInf
}



modeldefinition_no_cop <- list(
    biomarkers = biomarkers,
    exposureTypes = exposureTypes,
    exposureFitted = exposureFitted,
    observationalModel = observationalModel,
    abkineticsModel = abkineticsModel,
    expInfPrior = inf_prior
)

model_no_cop <- createSeroJumpModel(data_titre_model, NULL, modeldefinition_no_cop)
