Table 2.

Mean values of the top ten ranked variables from the best bluetongue model with the lowest AIC_C among the 100 bootstrap models. The mean values for the top ten variables for three presence (upper rows) and three absence (lower rows) clusters. The last two columns show the mean values for presence (P) and absence (A), respectively. See Table 3 for the key to variable names and mean model ranks.
