Table 1. Mixed linear regression model of the impact of target deployment on tsetse catches in the Boffa focus.
Fixed effects | Nb of coefficient | Means of catches/day Least squares (± standard error) | F ratio | Prob. >F | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Sampling round | 5 | - | 3.7459 | 0.0027 | |
Target deployment | 1 | yes | 2.99 (± 1.29) | 26.7620 | < 0.0001 |
no | 18.17 (± 2.63) |
Mixed linear regression was used to model the response variable that was the mean number of catches/day/trap. The trapping site was included as a random effect and the period of sampling and deployment of impregnated targets as fixed effects.
