Parameters for exponential models fitted to indicator semivariograms of the distributions of two tick-borne pathogens

Pathogen
Range (a)
Nugget (c0)
Partial Sill (c1)
Normalized sill

Ehrlichia chaffeensis
128.7 km
0.0767
0.140
0.646
Anaplasma phagocytophilum
137.3 km
0.151
0.102
0.402

Total sill is the maximum semivariance, c0 + c1.

Normalized sill is the ratio of the partial sill to the total sill, c1/(c0 + c1)
