naomi 2.9.10

• Update PJNZ extraction for adult ART need Dec 31 for 2023 PJNZ files. Previously child ART was note recorded in the .DP file tag <NeedARTDec31 MV>, and so it was fine to extract the total value. Now child ART is recorded, and so need to sum the adult age groups only.

naomi 2.9.9

• Add indicators aware_plhiv_attend and unaware_plhiv_attend for consistent facility attendance cascades.

naomi 2.9.8

• Display PLHIV number indicators to nearest 1.
• Drop input time series indicator "ART proportion <15" nd "ART adult-to-child ratio" in favour of "ART child-to-adult ratio" indicator.

naomi 2.9.1

• Update PEPFAR Datim UID mapping and PSNU level for 2023 Target Setting Tool.

naomi 2.9.0

• Generate comparison report where no survey ART coverage is available
• Consistent age/sex descriptions in comparison plot titles.

naomi 2.8.12

• Handle case when multiple .shiny90 files found in .PJNZ file. Choose the file with the shortest file name. This will most likely be the file that Spectrum fitter has saved.

naomi 2.8.11

• Do not attempt to extract .shiny90 data if option output_aware_plhiv = "No".

naomi 2.8.10

• Don't raise warning for not selecting ART attending when ART data is excluded at T1 and T2

naomi 2.8.9

• Fix comparison bar plot error bars and filters.

naomi 2.8.8

• Update bug in art_spectrum_warning() and anc_spectrum_warning() where district totals in naomi were compared to national totals in spectrum.
• Changes warning to compare district totals as opposed to district age sex totals to avoid excluding comparisons when age/sex dissagreagtes are different in spectrum and naomi data.

naomi 2.8.7

• Show ANC prevalence on ANC time series to 1 decimal place instead of 2. It will now be consistent with prevalence in other plots.

naomi 2.8.6

• hintr_run_model data can include a resource_url to include a static link to the original resource.

naomi 2.8.5

No user-visible changes, only internal.

• Update extract_shiny90_age_sex() to extract awareness of status estimates saved with Spectrum internal Shiny90 implementation (Spectrum v6.21).
• Added test file with internally created .shiny90 file: extdata/demo_mwi2019_v6.21-shiny90.PJNZ

naomi 2.8.4

• Make comparison report handle cases where the user selects only 1 survey for prevalence.

naomi 2.8.3

• Update model fit to fallback to anchor_home_district = TRUE if option is not set.

naomi 2.8.2

• Add model option to specify a new structure for ART attending random effects. In this change, the random effect for the home district applies to residents in that district (and in the neighbouring districts). This means that, for example, if a district is "attractive" to residents of neighbouring districts, it will also be more attractive to residents in that district to stay there, rather than go to a neighbouring district. In the previous specification of the model, the ART attending district parameter only applied to residents of neighbouring districts.
• This is now the default model specification with options$anchor_home_district = TRUE
• The model can be reverted to the previous specification with ``options$anchor_home_district = FALSE`

naomi 2.8.1

• Fix aggregate_art() to aggregate ART separately when provide at different admin levels. Previous behaviour was to aggregate from lowest level provided.
• Add tests and adjusts aggregation scripts to account for missing ART and ANC data inputs:
  • Data provided at multiple levels for the same years
  • Data provided at more than one level for different years
  • Data missing for some sub-national units at one time point

naomi 2.8.0

• Save model and calibration output from hintr_run_model and hintr_calibrate as qs files for faster reading. See https://github.com/traversc/qs.

naomi 2.7.19

• Vectorise quarter_id_to_calendar_quarter conversion functions.
• Load get_metadata into memory on first retrieval for quicker repeated access from other packages.

naomi 2.7.18

Update for Spectrum v6.2 with calendar year projection period instead of mid-year projection.

• Requires eppasm >= 0.7.0 and first90 >= 1.6.1 which incorporate code updates for calendar year projection.

• Add demo PJNZ files saved in Spectrum 6.2 beta 29.

• For Spectrum inputs parsed by function extract_pjnz_naomi(), add a column specifying to which calendar quarter the outputs correspond. This enables Naomi model compatibility with either mid-year projection (Spectrum version <=6.19) or calendar year projections (Spectrum version >=6.2).

• Update read_dp_anc_testing() for new ANC testing data input tag in .DP file "<ANCTestingValues MV4>".

naomi 2.7.17

• Error if trying to generate comparison report with old model output

naomi 2.7.16

• Add function to generate html report comparing naomi model estimates with input data:
  • The comparison report is generated with the function generate_comparison_report() that requires a naomi output file saved as an .Rds or output zip file created by hintr_run_model()
  • The report calls exported plotting functions that will generate interactive plotly figures from the inputs_outputs dataset in the naomi outputs including bar_plotly(), age_bar_plotly() and scatter_plotly.

naomi 2.7.15

• Add and known negative and births facility inicators to input time series

naomi 2.7.14

• Fix comparison barchart ANC age matched indicators, these were pointing to the wrong indicator data.

naomi 2.7.13

• Add input time series indicator showing ratio of ANC births to ANC clients

naomi 2.7.12

• Fix name and tooltip of art_adult_child_ratio indicator. This is ratio of adults to children not paediatric sex ratio.

naomi 2.7.11

• Remove get_calibration_option_labels(), get_model_calibration_options() and get_model_options_template(). Model options specification has been refactored into naomi.options package.

naomi 2.7.10

• Subset model options in naomi_fit object do not contain advanced options. Updates read_output_package() function to read in full model options when available in the model output zip
• Adds README to output zip describing outputs zip files
• Add backwards compatibility for old versions of coarse output zip

naomi 2.7.9

• Add country name and ISO3 code to extract_pjnz_one().

naomi 2.7.8

• Add indicator plhiv_attending reporting the estimated denominator for art_current based on assuming same ART attendance probabilities for untreated population as the treated population. This give estimates for the predicted number of PLHIV ‘in the ART catchment’ for a district and the number of untreated PLHIV in the catchment. This is an effort to address the recurring issue that the TX_CURR value that is provided to Data Pack does not correspond to the district PLHIV denominator, and to provide an output more directly useful for setting a district treatment targets.

naomi 2.7.7

• Report log likelihood in model fit object.

naomi 2.7.6

• hintr_comparison_plot() will error if comparison plot data does not exist. This will avoid a class of obscure errors being shown to end user.

naomi 2.7.5

• Adjust incidence projection for changing incidence trend between T1 and T2.

  Previously, new infections by age were calculated as: (1 - exp(-lambda_t1 * duration)) * hiv_negative_t1. This implicitly assumed that incidence rate and HIV negative population size were constant over the period from T1 to T2. This was reasonably okay for short periods, but less acceptable when time from T1 to T2 becomes many years. In settings with declining infections, this approach will tend to over-estimate the number of PLHIV at T2.

  New approach calculates infections in one year by age and sex based on lambda_t1 and then extrapolates to the number of infections between T1 and T2 based on the ratio of the number of infections occurring in Spectrum between T1 and T2 to the number of infections in the year preceding T1 (Spectrum definition for infections). This calculation also accounts for the number progressing from the age group at infection to the age group at T2 based on Spectrum infections by cohort (same as previous implementation).

  The model accounts for impact of different ART coverage levels at T1 on district-level transmission rate and incidence, but does not account for differential change in ART coverage between T1 and T2. That is, a larger scale-up in ART in district A than district B between T1 and T2 would not result in a larger relative decline in incidence in A than B during this period.

  The model does not explicitly account for mortality among infections between T1 and T2, but this is implicitly handled how new infections are subtracted away from the cohort survival probabilities for PLHIV at baseline.

  Better handling of incidence changes over time and mortality probably need a more complete simulation model rather than the single time jump approximation.

• Related to the previous change:

  • The age-specific incidence rate for distributing - The age-specific incidence rate for distributingnew infections by age (spec_incid_t1, etc. in the result of naomi_model_frame()) uses current year HIV negative population as denominator instead of previous year HIV negative population as denominator (used by Spectrum). This is for consistency with current time population denominator used in internal incidence simulation.
  • Infections are gradauted to quarters over periods rather than by cohort such that all infections remain within the same age as they are reported in single-age Spectrum outputs. Graduation is done via monotonic (Hyman) smoothing on cumulative infections.

• Handle adjacency matrix construction for case with single area.

naomi 2.7.4

• Re-fetch meta data when output zip is generated so that output zip contents in indicators.csv and meta_*.csv are in the language selected by the user at the time of generation.

naomi 2.7.3

• Patch aggregate_anc() and aggregate_art(): select required columns when joining to prevent inadvertent column name clash due to extra columns (e.g. area_level).

naomi 2.7.2

• Restructure functions that subset model input data based on logic in model options:

• In select_naomi_data(): Provide an annotated version of all input data provided with data tagged as raw_included, raw_excluded and interpolated_inlcuded. Individual data frames for survey, ART and ANC inputs are added to naomi-data in a list named full_data.
• In output_package(): Create a long dataframe containing matched data inputs and model outputs with align_inputs_output(). This adds a new object to the naomi output package that may used to compare model estimates and data inputs for T1 and T2.

naomi 2.7.1

• If births_facility in ANC data is missing it will be replaced by NA when reading input so input time series aggregation passes

naomi 2.7.0

Updates for 2023 UNAIDS estimates (Dec 2022 - Mar 2023).

• Add fields to ANC routine testing data specification and example data sets:
  • anc_known_neg: Number of women who were not tested for HIV at antenatal visit because they had a recent documented HIV negative test.
    • This is only recorded by some countries HMIS. The column may be missing or blank if this is not captured within national ANC testing guidelines and reporting.
    • If the column is missing or NA in data input, it will be replaced by values 0 in reading input.
    • Value anc_known_neg is added to denominator for calcuating anc_prevalence.
  • births_facility: The number of live births recorded at health facilities. This is added for triangulation with trend in number of ANC visits for data review purposes. Currently not used in modelling.

naomi 2.6.28

• Patch for incidence input argument in EPP-ASM simulation for eppasm_v0.6.2.

naomi 2.6.27

• Move ANC and ART spectrum data mismatch warnings to be shown on model calibrate and review result pages

naomi 2.6.26

• hintr_prepare_spectrum_download now takes arg notes for arbitrary notes which will be added into the output zip

naomi 2.6.25

• Fix anc aggregation
• Add tests for aggregation and time series inouts scripts to ensure unique strata

naomi 2.6.24

• Add hintr_prepare_comparison_report_download function to generate comparison summary report

naomi 2.6.23

• Add area hierarchy into time series plot data

naomi 2.6.22

• Ignore non PJNZ files when listing contents of uploaded zip, to stop naomi trying to read from __MACOSX folder that macs add to zip files

naomi 2.6.21

• Add warning for spectrum totals that do not match aggregated district ART + ANC data

naomi 2.6.19

• Specify incidence per 1000 outputs to be displayed with one decimal place.

naomi 2.6.18

• Bug fix: calibration options read into summary report from outputs object
• Add test to ensure calibration options are read into summary report correctly if present

naomi 2.6.17

• Add PEPFAR Datim PSNU UID for Benin.
• Change default population calibration option selection to "Subnational". If a national file is loaded, it will simply calibrate the national file.

naomi 2.6.16

• Bug fix: remove duplicate addition of CLHIV in T2 projection arising from paediatric incidence. This was introduced in v2.6.0 when paediatric new infections were added to the outputs.

naomi 2.6.15

• Add PEPFAR Datim UID for Burundi.

naomi 2.6.14

• Add option for district-sex-time interaction for ART coverage. This is implemented by argument naomi_model_frame(..., alpha_xst_term = TRUE, ...). The default is currently alpha_xst_term = FALSE for backwards compatibility. If set to TRUE, the model also checks that sex-stratified ART data are included at both T1 and T2.

• Add term to PLHIV projection from T1 to T2 and T2 to T3 to account for district-level net migration. The term is the ratio of the change in the cohort population at district level divided by the national level cohort change. The national level cohort change from Spectrum accounts for mortality and international net migration.

  Applying the ratio is controlled by the argument adjust_area_growth = TRUE to naomi_model_frame().

  This is currently set as FALSE by default. Pending further testing in problematic cases.

  Limitations of this approach: (1) It does not explicitly account for migration of PLHIV between districts. Therefore, it may 'create' or 'dissolve' infections if net population growth is greater in high prevalence districts (and vice versa). This is consistent with Spectrum and EPP handling of migration, but implications could be larger for smaller subnational areas. (2) In some cases, these net migration ratios mask unrealistic demographic assumptions in subnational population data (rather than true net migration patterns).

Internal changes

• Refactor function create_Lproj() to avoid replicating same code for T1 -> T2 and T2 -> T3 projection.
• Remove conversion of sf to sp object for spdep::poly2nb(), which now supports sf objects from v1.0.
• Replace "ART" in French and Portuguese strings with "TARV".

naomi 2.6.13

• The model uses offsets from Spectrum to determine HIV prevalence in age groups outside the age range for which survey HIV prevalence are available. Stratify determination of offset age ranges by sex. This addresses situation for DHS surveys where maximum female age is 49 but maximum male age is 54 or 59.

• Set default to model paediatric prevalence relative to adult female age 15-49 prevalence instead of using offsets relative to age 15-19 prevalence. This will (1) ensure same prevalence for male and female children, and (2) reduce distortions to age 15-19 prevalence arising from paediatric ART data.

• Expose advanced option to allow paediatric to adult prevalence ratio to vary by district (option rho_paed_x_term).

• Throw validation error if time-varying ART attendance is selected, but ART data are not included at both Time 1 and Time 2.

naomi 2.6.12

• Do not save the PEPFAR Data Pack CSV for coarse age output package because the five-year age group results are not included.

naomi 2.6.11

• Revert plot ordering change made in 2.6.9 in favour of changing the default selected to HIV prevalence from hintr.

naomi 2.6.10

• MOZ area_id in inst/datapack/datapack_psnu_area_id_map.csv to new area hierarchy with separate Maputo provinces at admin-2.

naomi 2.6.9

• Switch plot ordering to show HIV prevalence first.
• Patch logic error in calibration table: use calibrated population (done pre model fitting) as denominator for raw prevalence denominator (troublshooting #2022-73)

naomi 2.6.8

• Require eppasm v0.5.12 to avoid divide-by-zero in model computations (troubleshooting #2022-51).

naomi 2.6.7

• Increase threshold to trigger warning for HIV prevalence in naomi outputs.
• Remove non-outputted indicators from meta_indicator table in the output package.
• Add anc_tested and anc_tested_pos to anc time series plot.

naomi 2.6.6

• Add new infections output to PEPFAR data pack export.

naomi 2.6.5

• Add HIV incidence rate output to PEPFAR datapack export.
• Add check Cal_Population for population calibration in UNAIDS Navigator checklist file.

naomi 2.6.4

• Bug fix: UNAIDS navigator checklist was not checking calibration stratification = "sex_age_coarse" for any indicators. Add this to check.
• Return input time series data in area_sort_order order.

naomi 2.6.3

• Adds helper function output_naomi_warning() to report specific area/age/sex disaggregates that are triggering warnings in simulated outputs.

naomi 2.6.2

• Makes file reading utilities more robust replacing readr::col_double() with readr::col_number()

naomi 2.6.1

• Adds output age group 10-19 and 25-49 years.

• Update TZA area_id in inst/datapack/datapack_psnu_area_id_map.csv to new area hierarchy with Zone level added.

naomi 2.6.0

• In construction of survivorship projection matrices, the method for interpolating annual population totals to quarter-year age group totals was revised to use Hyman monotonic interpolation of population counts for smoother population distributions.

• Paediatric new infections (MTCT) are distributed to districts based on the ratio of paediatric incidence rate to adult 15-49 female HIV prevalence. This implicitly assumes the same mother-to-child transmission rate for all districts; results should be interpreted accordingly.

• Spectrum inputs for number on ART at end of year (Dec 31) for age 0-14, male 15+, and female 15+ are read from the PJNZ and used for model calibration. As a result, if calibration to Spectrum outputs is applied, Q4 outputs for art_current will match exactly to Spectrum. ART coverage will not be exactly the same because Spectrum uses mid-year PLHIV for the denominator and Naomi uses end-year PLHIV for the denominator.

Internal changes

• Added R version of the Naomi model in function [naomi_objective_function_r()] for stepping through model line by line.
  • REPORT() values match C++ code exactly.
  • AR1 likelihood is not yet implemented so objective function value does not match the C++ version exactly.

naomi 2.5.21

• Patch to summary_report.Rmd to avoid spherical geometry aggregation error (troubleshooting #2022-43).

naomi 2.5.20

• Implement Navigator checks.

naomi 2.5.19

• Use standard file reading functions in input time series (troubleshooting #2022-41).

naomi 2.5.18

• Update EPP-ASM dependency to v0.5.11 with patch for reading version of .DP file (troubleshooting #2022-42).

naomi 2.5.17

• Update first90 package dependency to v1.5.1 for 2022 estimates.
• Add UNAIDS Estimates Navigator checklist CSV to output package .zip.

naomi 2.5.16

• Update colour scales to match summary report and user feedback

naomi 2.5.15

• Suppress s2 geometry in adjacency matrix construction.

naomi 2.5.14

• Add naomi_warning helper to raise warnings which can be displayed in front end
• Return warnings from model fit, model calibration and model option validation
• Remove permissive option from model options, warning now returned instead of error

naomi 2.5.13

• Replace get_plot_type_label_and_description with get_plot_type_column_metadata and include formatting info in response

naomi 2.5.12

• Small fixes to text in Naomi summary report

naomi 2.5.11

• Update defaults for current estimates period to CY2021Q4 (December 2021) and short-term projection quarter to CY2022Q3 (September 2022).

naomi 2.5.10

• Change viral load indicators to vl_tested_12mos and vl_suppressed_12mos to specify that indicators are reported for the previous 12 months even if reporting period is quarterly.

naomi 2.5.9

• Fix to allow prepare_input_time_series_art() to accept data without art_new and vls indicators provided

naomi 2.5.8

• Add simulated viral load testing data to example datasets.

naomi 2.5.7

• Throw an error from calibrate_outputs() if user tries to calibrate an ouptut package that has already been calibrated. This is determined by whether the output$spectrum_calibration table exists in the output object. In future, it would be nicer to allow user to re-calibrate an output package. This will require saving additional information to un-calibrate and re-calibrate.

• Save calibrated count outputs at Spectrum region level in the spectrum_calibration.csv outputs.

• Add function hintr_calibrate_plot to return data for plotting calibrate barchart.

naomi 2.5.5

• Add argument na.rm= to output_package() to allow calculation of quantiles if there are missing values in the simulation. Default is na.rm = FALSE and na.rm = TRUE is to be used for debugging purposes only. Cases where missing values occur will usually indicate very poor model fits and issues that need to be addressed.

naomi 2.5.4

Updates to PEPFAR Data Pack outputs.

• Add age groups 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65+.
• Edit format of PEPFAR data pack CSV:
  • Add column dataelement_uid.
  • Add =""<>"" around age group values.
• Change file name save to pepfar_datapack_indicators_2022.csv.
• Separate input data aggregation and plot preparation scripts
• Remove time_step and add year, quarter and calendar_quarter in input time series function outputs

naomi 2.5.3

• Include parent_area_id and area_sort_order in input time series function outputs

naomi 2.5.2

• Add function get_plot_type_label_and_description to get label and description for each input time series plot types.

naomi 2.5.1

• Add functions prepare_input_time_series_art and prepare_input_time_series_anc for returning ART and ANC data formatted for plotting input time series graphs.

naomi 2.5.0

• Add functions hintr_prepare_spectrum_download, hintr_prepare_coarse_age_group_download and hintr_prepare_summary_report_download for generating downloads from hintr_output object
• Refactor hintr_run_model and hintr_calibrate to save out minimal data

naomi 2.4.2

• Add Portuguese translations
• Move summary plot functions into naomi package

naomi 2.4.1

• Manually skip 'PSNU not found warning' in write_datapack_csv() when running hintr_run_model() with zone-level demo data. This occurs because the demo data have ISO3 = MWI for which the PSNU level is 3, but demo zone-level model fits are only applied to levels 0:2. A better solution would be to change the ISO3 for the demo data to something artificial, but this requires relaxing some validation in the user interface first.

naomi 2.4.0

• Add demo datasets for subnational Spectrum files for three Malawi regions (Northern, Central, Southern).
• Add zone-level demo datasets population, ART, and ANC testing datasets.

naomi 2.3.15

• Updates to summary report

naomi 2.3.14

• Add alternate example survey data using data from MDHS 2015-16 survey final report.

naomi 2.3.13

• Option to output summary report in French.

naomi 2.3.12

• Fix to summary report to display input ANC data in description.
• Ensure summary report pulls most recent calibration options.
• Fix validate_calibration_options() typo.
• Add option$calibrate_method back into the summary report.

naomi 2.3.11

• Add PEPFAR PSNU ID mapping for MLI, SEN, LBR, GHA, SLE.

naomi 2.3.10

• Add description text for ADR upload to model output metadata.

naomi 2.3.9

• Add PEPFAR PSNU level for BFA to level 1.

naomi 2.3.8

• Ensure that log interpolation is non-negative values only by inserting pmax(..., 0) in function log_lin_approx(). (NAOMI TROUBLESHOOTING #100)

naomi 2.3.7

• When selecting ART data in artnum_mf(), if exact ART quarter is found in the data, filter those data instead of interpolating. This is more efficient and avoids interpolation error if only a single quarter of data are uploaded.

naomi 2.3.6

• If ART data are not available at both times, do not estimate overall or district-level change in ART coverage. Previously this was only restricted if there were no ART at Time 2; not the case where ART at time 2 but not at time 1.
• It no sex-stratified ART data from any source, do not estimate difference between adult female and male ART coverage.

naomi 2.3.5

• Add PEPFAR Datim UID for Angola.<

naomi 2.3.4

• Hotfix: remove option$calibrate_method from summary report (naomi troubleshooting #76).

naomi 2.3.3

• Update naomi summary report
• Switch to brio for file reading to avoid encoding issues on windows

naomi 2.3.2

• Add PEPFAR Datim UID for Uganda Arua and Terego districts.

naomi 2.3.1

• Set default for calibrate_method model option in user interface via JSON metadata.
• Fix swapped indicator_code and indicator_id for Data Pack metadata which were swapped.
• Refactor [calibrate_outputs()]; handle uncertainty ranges for proportion adjustments.

naomi 2.3.0

• Implement 'logistic' scaling option for [calibrate_outputs()] such that estimates are adjusted on logistic scale by fine district/sex/age group to ensure proportions do not go above 100%.
  • Note: implementation does not yet handle uncertainty ranges. Those might still go above 100%.
• Fix to model calibration for number aware of status to align with proportion aware of status and number unaware of status.

naomi 2.2.5

• Add BWA, HTI, and COD to PEPFAR Data Pack PSNU list
• Fix Datim data element UID for indicator DIAGNOSED_SUBNAT.T_1.

naomi 2.2.4

• hintr_calibrate will store calibration outputs to new files instead of overwriting existing

naomi 2.2.3

• Add BEN to PEPFAR Data Pack PSNU list.

naomi 2.2.2

• Fix summary report map colour scales

naomi 2.2.1

• Update French translation strings supplied by UNAIDS.

naomi 2.2.0

• Implement survey data likelihood as flexible aggregation over areas / sex / age groups, similar to likelihood for number on ART and ANC testing.

• Adjust flexibility of random effects specification based on granularity of available survey data when using aggregate survey data.

  • If only age 15-49 data are available, do not estimate age effects; use Spectrum odds ratio as offset pattern for all ages.
  • If only both sexes data are available, do not estimate district x sex interaction.

• Add advanced model option use_survey_aggregate to select use of aggregate uploaded survey dataset.

• Reparameterise random effects to be scaled to the linear predictor, as implemented by INLA parameterisation. That is now: mu = beta0 + u_i; u_i ~ N(0, sigma) instead of the previous parameterisation: mu = beta0 + u_i * sigma; u_i ~ N(0, 1).

  This does not change the model at all, reduces the fitting time noticeably because the starting values for the linear predictor for the 'inner optimisation' step do not change resulting from steps in the hyperparameters.

  Implementation for the BYM2 model follows the sparsity preserving conditional parameterisation described by Riebler et al. in Section 3.4.

• Update PEPFAR Data Pack export:

  • Only return future projection outputs except for art_current for current estimates.
  • Manually code art_current at current estimates as indicator_code TX_CURR_SUBNAT.R.
  • Return number aware of status instead of proportion aware of status (DIAGNOSED_SUBNAT.T_1).

• Update CIV Datim UID mapping for new 113 health districts.

naomi 2.1.14

• Add calibration options back in, reverts 2.1.8 changes

naomi 2.1.13

• Report progress back from calibration

naomi 2.1.12

• Update dependency first90 v1.4.2 which ensures backwards compatibility for previous .shiny90 files.

naomi 2.1.11

• Catch error if output package construction returns NA error when calculating quantiles and return the REPORTed indicator that threw error (#180).
• Replace unaware_untreated_prop = 1.0 if ART coverage is 100% in a particular Spectrum age group (support ticket 11).

naomi 2.1.10

• Fix new infections scaling. In plotting outputs number of new infections were being inadvertently scaled x100 (reported by Lesotho estimates team).

naomi 2.1.9

• Increase eppasm dependency to 0.5.9.

naomi 2.1.8

• Hotfix to move calibration options back to model run. Calibration is too slow to run synchronously and is meaning no other users can use the application whilst calibration is being run - we will disable async calibration in hintr.

naomi 2.1.7

• In model options:
  • Select most recent household survey for prevalence based on survey_mid_calendar_quarter
  • Select most recent household survey for art_coverage if data exist
  • If ANC data exist in the most recent survey year [defaulted for prevalence], default select that year for Time 1 (both prevalence and ART coverage). If no data in that year, do not select default
  • If ANC data exist in the year 2020, preselect that for 'Time 2' in ANC clients, ANC prevalence, and ANC coverage.

naomi 2.1.6

• Summary report logic error corrected
• Patch front end issue if anc_clients_year2 is selected and unselected, resulting in anc_clients_year2 passed to model.
• Patch issue arising if no ART data is uploaded and R gets confused about an option not supplied due to autocompletion of list$name.

naomi 2.1.5

• Summary report updated to handle model options from naomi web application
• Calibration options unscrambled in get_model_calibration_options() test

naomi 2.1.4

• Add final number of iterations and duration to model fit progress message.

naomi 2.1.3

Awareness of HIV status

• If a .shiny90 file is included, the first90 package is used to calculate the proportion of untreated PLHIV who are aware of their HIV status by sex and age group.

• To estimate the proportion aware of status at the district, this proportion is applied to the estimated untreated population in each district. This is added to the ART coverage to estimate the total proportion aware of status at district level by age and sex.

• New output indicators for awarness of HIV status:

  • untreated_plhiv_num: Number of untreated PLHIV (the 'treatment gap').
  • aware_plhiv_prop: Proportion of PLHIV aware of HIV positive status ('first 90' indicator).
  • unaware_plhiv_num: Number of PLHIV who are not aware of their HIV positive status.

• Add model option output_aware_plhiv in 'Advanced options'. If no .shiny90 file is present in the PJNZ, this must be set to FALSE. An error is raised by validate_model_options() prompting this if no .shiny90 file is found inside the PJNZ.

PEPFAR Data Pack

• Update PEFPAR datapack export to conform to 2021 Data Pack specification.

Additional changes

• Update demo datasets to distinguish clearly from Malawi. Rename files as demo_ and affix _demo to the end of the area IDs.
• Add argument quantile(..., names = FALSE) in the funciton add_stats() for computation of posterior quantiles. This gives a decent speedup in producing the outptus package.

naomi 2.1.2

• Make running input validation during model run optional

naomi 2.1.1

• Make 'Advanced Options' panel on model options page collapsible by default
• Add option for outputting awareness of HIV status in 'Advanced options'.
• Change "Population calibration options" to "Population calibration" for consistent with other block labels.

naomi 2.1.0

This release revises the modelling of ANC prevalence and ART coverage and produces outputs for district-level ANC testing cascade.

ANC testing cascade

• Add ANC bias parameters to age-specific prevalence and ART coverage regression equations instead of to aggregate ANC prevalence and ART coverage.

• ANC prevalence and ANC ART coverage outputs are produced by five-year age group, 15-24, 25-34, 35-49, and all ages.

• New output indicators for ANC testing cascade:

  • anc_clients: Number of ANC1 clients.
  • anc_plhiv: Number of HIV positive ANC attendees.
  • anc_already_art: Number of ANC clients already on ART prior to first ANC visit.
  • anc_art_new: Number of HIV positive ANC attendees initiating ART.
  • anc_known_pos: Number of HIV positive ANC attendees aware of HIV status prior to first ANC.
  • anc_tested_pos: Number of HIV positive ANC attendees tested HIV positive during ANC.
  • anc_known_pos: Number of HIV negative ANC attendees.

  Currently these indicators are calculated assuming that the number of 'known positive' ANC attendees are the same as the number already on ART.

• Added a likelihood for the number of ANC clients observed in current year as a function of district population size, age-specific ferility rate (fixed inputs), and a district-level random effect to scale overall fertility rate.

  • The number of months reflected in ANC client reporting is used as an offset for the number of clients such that predicted number of clients are projected annual total.
  • Results explicitly represent number of ANC clients, calibrated based on the number in the current year data. No distinction between number of births versus ANC clients are made. Results should not be used for estimating PMTCT coverage (for example).
  • Currently only a single time point is used for ANC clients estimates and projections. The future projection is closely linked to the accuracy of current year data; uncertainty around the estimate and projection are not appropriately quantified.

• Age-specific fertility rate ratios (FRR) for HIV positive relative to HIV negative pregnant women and women already on ART relative to untreated HIV positive women are calculated from Spectrum model outputs (using EPP-ASM simulation) and included in regression equations for ANC prevalence and ANC ART coverage, respectively.

• Aggregation of ANC testing data observations generalized using same approach as aggregation of number currently on ART observations. This means that:

  • ANC testing observations can be input for coarser areas, for example admin 1.
  • Age-stratified ANC testing data can be input, for example 5-year age groups.

  Age-stratified ANC testing do not yet inform national or district level estimates for age-specific fertility or HIV/ART fertility rate ratios.

Additional changes:

• Use Kish effective sample size in likelihood for household survey data.

• Update summary report with additional styling, number formatting, and methods overview.

• Streamline function extract_pjnz_naomi() to reduce the number of calls to unzip and read .DP file by getting all outputs from [eppasm::read_hivproj_output()] which was utilised; remove dependency on specio.
