Characterizing larval breeding sites: combining multiple environmental conditions
The confusion matrices from random forest analysis suggested high accuracy in distinguishing larval breeding sites between forest and village (peridomestic and domestic) in both La Lopé (Table 2) and Rabai (Table 3). Rabai peridomestic and domestic samples were less accurately classified, consistent with the finding that they shared similar physical characteristics and bacterial communities. Within each habitat, the classification algorithm distinguished the Ae. aegyptipresent versus absent sites poorly.
