Table 2

Model predictive performance of a model map of global bushmeat activities to improve zoonotic spillover surveillance*

Model AUC maxTSS
Random forest 0.945 0.741
Boosted regression trees 0.945 0.758
Bayesian additive regression trees 0.952 0.775
Geographic null 0.633 0.472

*Predictive performance measured by AUC and maxTSS. Bushmeat activities are hunting, preparing, and selling bushmeat. AUC, area under the curve; maxTSS, maximum true skill statistic.
