Understanding the impact of covariates on the classification of implementation units for soil-transmitted helminths control: A case study from Kenya

2023-09-12

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Soil-transmitted helminthiasis (STH) is a parasitic infection that predominantly affects impoverished regions. Model-based geostatistics (MBG) has been established as a set of modern statistical methods that enable mapping of disease risk in a geographical area of interest. We investigate how the use of remotely sensed covariates can help to improve the predictive inferences on STH prevalence...
