Abstract | Background: Arboviral diseases are major global public health threats. Yet, our understanding of infection risk factors is,
with a few exceptions, considerably limited. A crucial shortcoming is the widespread use of analytical methods generally not
suited for observational data – particularly null hypothesis-testing (NHT) and step-wise regression (SWR). Using Mayaro virus
(MAYV) as a case study, here we compare information theory-based multimodel inference (MMI) with conventional analyses
for arboviral infection risk factor assessment. | pt_BR |
