datasets

This function develops an algorithm for presenting a Bayesian hierarchical model for estimating the sizes of local and national drug injected populations in Bangladesh. The model incorporates multiple commonly used data sources including mapping data, surveys, interventions, capture-recapture data, estimates or guesstimates from organizations, and expert opinion.
