Candidate mortality functions for mortality trajectories of male and female badgers in two health states (infected and uninfected), and their corresponding differences in deviance information criterion (ΔDIC). Substantial support for the ‘best’ model alone is indicated when rival models all have ΔDIC > 3 [29].
| mortality function | uninfected | infected |
|---|---|---|
| exponential | 9.1 | 26.7 |
| Gompertz | 0a | 49.4 |
| logistic | 21.5 | 0a |
| Weibull | 29.4 | 6.7 |
aThe most supported model.
