Table 1.
Predictor analysis based on the frequencies of the predictors in the top similar models as defined by the Watanabe-Akaike information criterion (WAIC).
Table 2.
Summary of validation metrics for the top five models for each soil-transmitted helminth species analyzed.
Fig 1.
Maps of the observed prevalence (left), predicted prevalence (median of the posterior predictive distribution; center), and prediction uncertainty (interquartile range; right) for the three soil-transmitted helminth species.
These maps were created using the tmap-package in R, and the basemap shapefiles were downloaded from ESPEN (2022). https://espen.afro.who.int/maps-data/data-query-tools/cartography-database [5] and https://data.humdata.org/dataset/cod-ab-uga [38].
Fig 2.
Maps of median posterior predictive distribution of infection with any soil-transmitted helminth species (A) and the posterior probabilities of very low (B), low (C), moderate (D), high (E), and very high (F) prevalence of any soil-transmitted helminth infection among school-age children.
These maps were created using the tmap-package in R, and the basemap shapefiles were downloaded from ESPEN (2022). https://espen.afro.who.int/maps-data/data-query-tools/cartography-database [5] and https://data.humdata.org/dataset/cod-ab-uga [38].

Map of recommended soil-transmitted helminthiasis treatment rounds in Uganda by district based on results from predictive modeling.
