a
Model I includes only environmental/climatic factors.
b
Model II includes ITN coverage, children's age and wealth index.
c
Bayesian Credible intervals.
d
Household wealth index.
e
Number of available ITNs per every two household members.
f
The range parameter (degrees), defined as 
indicates the distance above which the spatial correlation becomes negligible.
