Birth and death rates stratified by different concentrations of antibody, where and . We obtained asymptotic standard errors by applying the delta method to the asymptotic variance matrix of our estimate of θ. Note that the birth rate λ decreases much more rapidly than death rate μ as antibody concentration increases.
