Classification and prediction accuracies for Sin Nombre virus infection status, by vegetation type method and canonical discriminant function analysis
| Site in Walker River Basin | Classified negative % | Classified positive % | Overall accuracy % |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vegetation type Status 1 | 50 ± 12a | 88 ± 8 | 76 ± 10 |
| Vegetation type Status 2 | 36 ± 9 | 92 ± 6 | 59 ± 12 |
| DFAb Status 1 | 84 ± 9 | 69 ± 11 | 74 ± 10 |
| DFA Status 2 | 84 ± 9 | 80 ± 10 | 82 ± 9 |
aThe error terms following each estimate are 95% confidence intervals derived from the binomial distribution.
