The ability of Model B to return the known values for \( \beta , \) the proportion of mosquitoes repelled from houses using spatial repellents. a By mean distance between households moved by diverted mosquitoes. b By proportion of mosquitoes repelled that go to households as opposed to elsewhere. c By the number of households using spatial repellents (out of the total of 30). d By the total number of mosquitoes collected from all households per day. The horizontal lines represent the different known values to be returned coded by colour: red (0.1); blue (0.3); black (0.5); and grey (0.8). The boxplots represent the estimated values from 100 simulated datasets for each scenario. The reference scenario is based on the trial design and trial house coordinates and is given in Table 2.
