Uncertainty Distributions of Predicted Illnesses

The uncertainty of the predicted number of annual V. parahaemolyticus illnesses was analyzed by creating uncertainty distributions for each region/season combination. The shape of the distribution is a consequence of model uncertainties based on 1,000 simulations. The predicted number of illnesses is greatly affected by the combination of the multiple uncertainties of all the inputs used in the model. Figures A8-25 to A8-36 provide the uncertainty distribution graphs for each region/ season combination.
