Table 3.

Validation and decision model for the risk of dengue local transmission introduction (M1) and propagation (M2). Both models were divided into three risk levels (low, moderate and high) for the decision making based on these probabilities

Model Variable Time lag (weeks) AUC Probability cut-point Accuracy (%) Sensitivity TPR (%) Specificity TNR (%) Risk decision model
M1: Local transmission initiation Dengue imported 3 0.92 < 0.20 Green Low
Tweets 0.20 85.22 82.46 86.13 0.20 ≤ x < 0.60 Yellow Moderate
Mosquito IMFA 0.60 87.39 61.40 95.95 ≥ 0.60 Orange High
M2: Disease propagation Dengue imported 4 0.98 < 0.20 Green Low
DENV in mosquitoes 0.20 92.61 92.86 92.57 0.20 ≤ x < 0.50 Orange Moderate
Tweets 0.50 94.78 75.00 97.52 ≥ 0.50 Red High
Maximum temperature
