Table 3.
Variation in goodness of fit and optimal change point based on different models for the proportion of infective endocarditis cases associated with streptococcal organisms. For each model type, the month of change which gives the best model fit is shown, with best overall models shown in bold italics. AIC measures model goodness of fit (the lower the value the better the fit, within each set of inclusion criteria)
