Model evaluation measures
AUC (SD)*** 0.866 (0.045) 0.892 (0.074)
CORprev**** (p-value) 0.117 (0.234) 0.355 (<0.001)
Threshold dependent sensitivity 68.8% 76.9%
Threshold dependent specificity 46.6% 64.5%

Only the 7 predictors that were ranked in the top three of at least one of the two models are included. The top three predictors for each model are highlighted in bold.

*LST; Land Surface Temperature.

**NDVI; Normalized Difference vegetation Index.

***AUC; the area under the Receiver Operating Characteristic curve (and standard deviation).

**** CORprev is the Pearsons product moment correlation between model logistic probability and the measured CFA prevalence at survey sites.
