Sample size calculation for estimating key epidemiological parameters using serological data and mathematical modelling

Abstract Background Our work was motivated by the need to, given serum availability and/or financial resources, decide on which samples to test in a serum bank for different pathogens. Simulation-based sample size calculations were performed to determine the age-based sampling structures and optimal...
