Table 2.

Results of simulation study comparing 3 different models: Binomial mixture (BM), independent ascertainment (IA), and spatial ascertainment (SA). For predictions at locations without both S1 and S2 data, Pois-NA assumes no surveillance data and Pois-S1 assumes only S1 data. Root mean square errors (RMSE), 95% empirical coverage probabilities (CVG) and averaged posterior standard deviation (SD) are reported.
