Parameters for the non-spatial and geostatistical logistic and NB models without covariates.

Parasitological data were obtained from a cross-sectional survey carried out among 3,371 participants in 51 villages of Champasack province in 2007.CI, credible intervalPrevalence models: Bayesian geostatistical logistic model (spatial model) and Bayesian model with an exchangeable random effect (non-spatial model)Intensity models: Bayesian geostatistical NB model (spatial model) and Bayesian NB model with an exchangeable random effect (non-spatial model)a σ2 is the location-specific unexplained varianceb ρ is the decay parameterc The range (range = 3/ρ) is the distance at which the spatial correlation becomes less than 5%d r is the dispersion parameter from the negative binomial distribution that quantifies the amount of extra-Poisson variatione Deviance information criterion.Parameters for the non-spatial and geostatistical logistic and NB models without covariates.
