Table 1 Description of the models compared in the ten-fold cross-validation exercise
Models | Assumptions | Parameters |
|---|---|---|
1 – No correlation | No spatial and no pathogen correlation | ρ = 0; Φ > > 0 |
2 – Spatial | Accounts for spatial correlation but not for pathogen correlation | ρ = 0; Φ estimated |
3 – Pathogen | Accounts for pathogen correlation but not for spatial correlation | ρ is estimated; Φ > > 0 |
4 – Pathogen + Spatial | Accounts for pathogen and spatial correlation | ρ and Φ are both estimated |
