Table 2.

Results of the test of synchrony for incidence time series and rainfall between 1989 and 1994.

Periodic Band 1.8–2.5 years 3–4 years 4–5 years
Incidence Entropy = 0.7043
p-value < 0.0001
Entropy = 0.7407
p-value = 0.0004
Entropy = 0.7542
p-value = 0.0360
Rainfall Entropy = 0.7276
p-value < 0.0001
Entropy = 0.7091
p-value = 0.0041
Entropy = 0.6327
p-value = 0.0669

The test was realized in three different periodic bands and based on normalized entropy, 0 for flat distribution and a 1 for unimodal distribution.
