In this regard, investigation of how covariates impact malaria parasites clearance is often performed using a two-stage approach in which the WWARN Parasite Clearance Estimator or PCE is used to estimate parasite clearance rates and then the estimated parasite clearance is regressed on the covariates. However, the recently developed Bayesian Clearance Estimator instead leads to more accurate results for hierarchial regression modelling which motivated the authors to implement the method as an R package, called ``bhrcr''.}, issn = {1475-2875}, doi = {10.1186/s12936-018-2631-8}, url = {https://doi.org/10.1186/s12936-018-2631-8}, }
