Spatial disparity and associated factors of diarrhea among under-five children in Rwanda: a multilevel logistic regression analysis

Table 2 Comprehensive comparison of models and outputs of fitness parameters for assessing diarrheal diseases in rwanda (2019)

Fitness parameter	Null model	Model I	Model II	Model III
Community level variance	0.2308592	0.2289007	0.1962206	0.2201063
ICC	1.6%	6.6%	5.6%	6.3%
MOR	1.58 [1.44,1.76]	1.57 [1.44,1.78]	1.52 [1.39, 1.71]	1.56 [1.43, 1.76]
PCV [32]	Reference	0.85%	15%	4.6%
Model fitness parameters
Log- likelihood ratio (LLR)	-3153	-2983	-3144	-2979
DIC(-2LLR)	-6306	-5965	-6288	-5958
AIC	6309	5996	6298	5994
BIC	6323	6107	6333	6119

Note ICC, intra-cluster correlation; MOR, median odds ratio; DIC, deviance information criterion. The null model is the empty model, the base model without any determinant variable. Model I is adjusted for individual-level factors. Model II is adjusted for community-level factors. Model III is the final model adjusted for both individual and community-level factors
