Availability of cervical cancer incidence data was based on the incidence data from volume XI of Cancer Incidence in Five Continents (CI5) (Bray et al., 2017) and the 2012–2016 report of the National Centre for Disease Informatics and Research (NCDIR) (Report of National Cancer Registry Programme, 2020).
States/groups of states were defined as reported in the 2006 National Behaviour Surveillance Survey of the National AIDS Control Organization of India (National Behavioural Surveillance Survey: General Population, 2006).
Identified clusters derived in the Clustering step.
Classified clusters derived in the Classification step. A given state was classified to the low-incidence cluster if the probability of belonging to the low-incidence cluster (given in the next column) was above 0.50. For the Indian states with available cervical cancer incidence data and hence already in an identified cluster, classification was done for the purpose of validation.
Other North Eastern states included Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Meghalaya, Mizoram, and Tripura.
