  1. The relationship between physical distance (measured in kilometers (km) between two GPS coordinates) and genetic distance (measured as identity by state, the number of barcode differences in the 24-SNP molecular barcode) are shown overall, as well as by household.
  2. Estimates (posterior medians) are shown for the exponentiated regression parameters along with 95% quantile-based equal tailed credible intervals.
