Chapter 37 Epizootic Risk Model Visualization
The Epizootic Risk Model Visualization displays a map showing predictions of where a new CWD infection will die out or spread through the live population.
37.1 Creating an Epizootic Risk Model Visualization
To create an Epizootic Risk Model Visualization, complete the following steps:
Title (required): Create a title for your visualization to help you keep track of your visualizations. It will appear in the visualization dashboard, so it should be both descriptive and concise. You may use characters, numbers, and symbols.
Comments: Add additional comments to be displayed above the visualization.
Display: These options control how visualizations are presented in the visualization dashboard.
Weight is used to order visualizations. Visualizations with lower weight values will be presented in the dashboard above those with higher weight values. This value defaults to 9999 (the lowest position on menus).
Display on visualization dashboard for all users is used to control whether non-administrative users should be shown this visualization. If you want all users to be able to view this visualization, check the box. If you would prefer that this visualization be available only to Provider Administrators in your agency, do not check this box. This value defaults to un-selected, so must be selected if you want others to see this visualization.
Tag category is used to display the visualization under the selected heading on the dashboard. See the section under Introducing Visualizations for details.
If provided, the Thumbnail will be used as the preview image of the visualization on the dashboard.
Visualization input (required): Select from the drop-down menu which model execution data and results you want to use to create this visualization.
Click OK to create the visualization.
37.2 Viewing the Epizootic Risk Model Visualization
Select the thumbnail from the Visualizations dashboard. A map showing the model results will be displayed. You can select layers showing various aspects of the results by sub-administrative areas:
Epizootic Potential: The key tells you which sub-administrative areas are predicted by the model to have infections that die out or persist.
- Epizootic Potential <1 indicates the infection will die out.
- Epizootic Potential >1 indicates the infection will persist and spread.
Rank of Epizootic Potential: Sub-administrative areas are ranked by Epizootic Potential values.
Population Growth Rate: The map shows which sub-administrative areas are predicted to have population decline or growth.
Specific values of the Epizootic Potential, Rank of Epizootic Potential, and the Population Growth Rate for each sub-administrative area may be viewed by clicking on a sub-administrative area in the map or by selecting the sub-administrative area from the drop down list below the map. Additional results can be viewed below the map when specific sub-administrative areas are selected. Various chart types can be chosen from the drop down list.
Changes to inputs for the visualization can be made by clicking on the edit icon (pencil) at the top right of the visualization. The visualization will be automatically updated.
