Table 2.
Point estimates and 95% credible interval of the Bayesian Poisson regression model on number of all monthly dengue cases (DF, DHF and DSS) and covariates in Khon Kaen Province, Thailand, 2006–2016
| Parameter | Rate ratios | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Median | 2.5% | 97.5% | |
| Mean monthly rainfall (cm) | 1.004 | 0.990 | 1.017 |
| Maximum temperature (°C) | 1.055 | 1.009 | 1.115 |
| Minimum temperature (°C) | 0.958 | 0.927 | 1.024 |
| Age (years) | 0.990 | 0.985 | 0.994 |
| Gender (proportion femalea) | 0.933 | 0.854 | 1.020 |
| Density (thousands of people per km2) | 0.925 | 0.827 | 1.047 |
aHence the rate ratio is for 100% female case composition relative to 100% male case composition
