Representation of the relationships between peri-domestic, household and individual variables and hookworm burden. by Rachel L. Pullan (231093)

“…Both analyses address hookworm intensity (epg): the spatial analysis uses a negative binomial model, incorporating an over dispersion parameter (k) to account for extra-Poisson variation; quantitative genetic analysis (genetic variance component analysis) uses a linear regression model, therefore data was log-transformed prior to analysis. …”
