Table 2. Model AICc, ΔAICc, and adjusted r2 values for the best fit models (all models with ΔAICc<10) using the weighted meteorological dataset ensemble with square-root transformed number of suspect plague cases as the response variable.
| Coefficient #1 | Coefficient #2 | AICc | ΔAICc | Adj. R2 |
| >10 mm Dry season rainfall (−) | 0.2–10 mm June/July rainfall (+) | 19.6 | 0 | 0.864 |
| >2 mm Dry season rainfall (−) | 0.2–10 mm June/July rainfall (+) | 23.1 | 3.4 | 0.819 |
| >2 mm Dry season rainfall (−) | >2 mm June/July rainfall (+) | 25.3 | 5.7 | 0.781 |
| >10 mm Dry season rainfall (−) | >2 mm June/July rainfall (+) | 29.3 | 9.6 | 0.696 |
ΔAICc represents the difference between a model's mean AICc value and the mean AICc value of the best fit overall model. +/− symbol after the coefficient names indicates whether the coefficient value is positive or negative.
