Performance of collocation ranking: first benchmark. Subfigures 1a and 1b are based on the first benchmark, which is the average probability of individuals in a given subpopulation to become infected during an outbreak, B 1. The abscissa shows the percentage of the population selected for prevention or surveillance efforts. The ordinate shows the ratio of the B 1 of the collocation indicator and the B 1 of any other indicator, that is, ordinate values >1 indicate that the collocation indicator performs better than the other indicator it is compared to. Subfigure 1a compares the B 1 value of the 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th percentile of 100,000 randomly selected subpopulations to the B 1 of subpopulations selected by the collocation indiciator. Subfigure 1b compares B 1 of all indicators defined in the Methods section, as well as the optimal B 1 , to the B 1 of the collocation indicator.
