Adjusted point parameter estimates, maximum log-likelihoods, and risk of mortality attributable to Onchocerca volvulus infection.

aDose-response models were fitted assuming microfilarial loads were measured with error. MLL: Maximum Log Likelihood; AR: Attributable Risk.bThe degree of measurement error is summarized by parameter k of the negative binomial distribution, which is an inverse measure of extra-Poisson variation in the distribution of microfilarial counts measured per individual.cEvaluated at the posterior means of the estimated parameters; analogous to the maximum log-likelihood of the model.dNaïve: Point parameter estimates assuming no measurement error in microfilarial loads (see Table 3);ePoisson measurement errors;fMeasurement error estimated from published data [43];gArbitrarily large measurement error.hParameter value fixed, not estimated.
