The outcomes are model based and age adjusted. All covariates here are standardized.
Rho is the spatial lag parameter, indicating how the prevalence in a focal county is associated with the average prevalence in neighboring counties.
Lambda is the spatial error parameter, indicating how the residual/error of a focal county is associated with the average residuals/errors in neighboring counties.
AIC, Akaike information criterion; OLS, ordinary least squares; SAC, spatial autoregressive combined.
