Extended Data Fig. 7: Predictions comparison from the covariate sensitivity analysis.

a–e, EBF prevalence among infants under 6 months in 2017 at the 5 km × 5 km grid cell level, based on models with no covariates and including: a Gaussian process (a); raw covariates with no Gaussian process (b); raw covariates with a Gaussian process (c); stacked covariates with no Gaussian process (d) and stacked covariates with a Gaussian process (e; the final model). Estimates are shown without calibration to GBD 2017⁵, to better highlight the differences between the models (that would have been masked after calibration). Maps reflect administrative boundaries, land cover, lakes and population; gray-colored grid cells had fewer than ten people per 1 km × 1 km grid cell and were classified as ‘barren or sparsely vegetated’, or were not included in this analysis.
