Files related to geospatial modelling of O. volvulus infection prevalence in Ethiopia.

The repository consists of the markdown files/codes for the following aspects of the analysis:

  1. Exploring prevalence and the environmental data including initial selection of the environmental variables - Workbook 1

  2. Comparing different distributions for model fitting, selection of triangulation meshes, final selection of environmental variables and K-fold cross validation of the candidate models - Workbook 2

  3. Running the best model and visualising the model prediction - Workbook 3

The paper is now available in PLoS NTD.
