  • Modelled PfPR maps are developed by assembling community-based PfPR data from the general population or specific population surveys and used within geostatistical models to provide estimates of infection prevalence at unsampled locations.

    “Modelled PfPR maps are developed by assembling community-based malaria parasite prevalence (PfPR) data from the general population or specific population surveys, such as school based children [12–16], and used within geostatistical models to provide estimates of infection prevalence at unsampled locations [17].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
