Main Article

Sin Nombre virus infection status of sites in the Walker River Basin: canonical discriminant function analyses for Status 1 and Status 2.

	Canonical correlation^a (p-value)	Canonical loadings^b
	Canonical correlation^a (p-value)	Elevation	NDVI^c	NDVI Std^d	Slope	Streams^e
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
