Sin Nombre virus infection status of sites in the Walker River Basin: canonical discriminant function analyses for Status 1 and Status 2.
| Canonical correlationa (p-value) | Canonical loadingsb |
|||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Elevation | NDVIc | NDVI Stdd | Slope | Streamse | ||
| Status 1 | 0.41 (0.0003) | 0.77 | 0.52 | 0.69 | 0.06 | 0.04 |
| Status 2 | 0.53 (0.0001) | 0.79 | 0.46 | 0.68 | 0.09 | 0.05 |
aThe canonical correlation and its significance level define the overall association between infection status and the indicator variables.
bCanonical loadings for each indicator variable indicate their relative importance in producing a significant overall canonical correlation.
cNDVI = Vegetation density
dNDVI Std. = uniformity of vegetation density
eStreams = distance to nearest mapped stream or body of water
