‡ Prevalence ratios compare predicted prevalence in each category with normal weight accurate assessors who had the same participant characteristics.
The risk of HPAI occurrence for each grid was calculated and classified as the highest risk, high risk, medium risk and low risk according to quartile levels for predicted prevalence in the predictive map.
To quantify the uncertainties surrounding the model predictions, we plotted the probability of each prediction location having a prevalence >50%, rather than mean predicted prevalence at each location.
From the prediction models that were developed in this study, we can obtain the predicted prevalence of RDS-obtained without testing, the predicted prevalence of RDS-obtained after testing with the LBC and the predicted prevalence of RDS-obtained after testing with the L/S ratio.
The examination of the TA muscle however confirmed the predicted prevalence of the oxidative phenotype in the SM/J muscle supporting the predictive power of the network analysis.
Using this model, inferences for the distribution of prevalences, mean prevalence in the region, and predicted prevalence of herds in the region (including the predicted probability of zero prevalence) are also available.
Furthermore, for S5, the average predicted prevalence of active TB was impacted by the rate of relapse.
We first linearly adjusted the predicted prevalence in the monograph, to account for the lower actual prevalence from 1980 to 1990.
Hence, for each analysis, we computed the average predicted prevalence of active TB after 10 years with each set of parameters of the Latin Hypercube Sample.
The transmission rate was calibrated in such a way that the average predicted prevalence of active TB remains roughly stable over this 10 year period.
Indeed, with S1, S2, S3 and S7, the average predicted prevalence of active TB after 10 years could reach 2.5% or more for several of the sets of parameters generated with the LHS method, whereas the average predicted prevalence of active TB with S4, S5 and S6 after 10 years was below 0.7, 0.4 and 1.5% respectively for 95% of these sets of parameters.
