BetaBetaDataset
To estimate environmental suitability of onchocerciasis presence in endemic countries across Africa.
Environmental suitability indicates how conducive different locations are for the disease’s transmission, based on environmental, climatic, hydrological, and ecological covariates (e.g. precipitation, temperature, vegetation, water bodies, elevation).
Dataset contains onchocerciasis environmental suitability (scale from 0-1) and mean, upper, or lower summary statistics from bootstrapped BRT model.
Data is based on estimates produced using a boosted regression tree (BRT). Data is sourced from endemicity mapping surveys, surveillance during elimination programs and other sources.
