Summary of the important parameters and abbreviations defined

E~s,p~I,p~C Effectiveness and prevalences in the intervention and control arm (ignoring contamination)
Δij Distance of jth household in the ith cluster to nearest discordant household
S Sigmoid model (allowing for contamination)
SRE Sigmoid random effects model (allowing for contamination and including random effects)
β1, β2, β3 Parameters for S and SRE, describing the position, height and steepness of the function
Ês,p^I,p^C Effectiveness and prevalences in the intervention and control arm
for S or SRE (allowing for contamination)
θ^ Estimated contamination range from S or SRE
μ, τ Hyperparameters for the Bayesian hierarchical model SRE
ω Percentage of households in core, that is households whose distance to the discordant arm is greater than θ^ (ignoring assignment to arms)
