Table 2. Variables in the NHW analysis with the interpretation for the original climate interpretation and the epidemiological counterpart.
Variable | Climate Interpretation | Epidemiological Interpretation |
---|---|---|
x i | Current temperature mean for modeling assumption i. | Mean log-duration under implemented control for modeling assumption i. |
y i | Future temperature mean for modeling assumption i. | Mean log-duration under alternative control for modeling assumption i. |
x 0 | Observed current temperature. | Observed outbreak log-duration. |
τ 0 | Precision of natural variability. | Precision of variability of individual outbreaks given the observed initial conditions. * |
μ | Current mean temperature. * | Mean outbreak duration, implemented control. * |
V | Future mean temperature. * | Mean outbreak duration, alternative control. * |
λi | Precision of model i (weights). * | Precision of model i (weights). * |
Β | Correlation between current and. future projections. * | Correlation between implemented and alternative control projections. * |
θ | Ratio between precision for current and future projections. * | Ratio between precision for implemented and alternative control projections. * |
τ i and φ i | Not included. | Precision of within projection variability, calculated as the precision of individual replicates around the mean values x i and y i. |
* Asterisk indicates parameters treated as random variables and no asterisk indicate data.
