NOTES.
Adjusted by the dummy variable to control the outlier, by the number of tests per day, by individual heterogeneity (at the Basic Health Area level), by spatial dependence and by temporal dependence.
Reference category in square brackets.
Prob(abs(log(RR))>0) higher than 0.95. Prob(abs(log(RR))>0) higher than 0.90.
