Performance of collocation ranking: second benchmark. Subfigures 2a and 2b are based on the second benchmark. The abscissa shows the percentage of the population selected for prevention or surveillance efforts. The ordinate shows the ratio of the B 2 of a given indicator and the B 2 of the collocation indicator, that is, ordinate values >1 indicate that the collocation indicator performs better than the other indicator it is compared to. Subfigure 2a compares the B 2 value of the 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th percentile of 100,000 randomly selected subpopulations to the B 2 of subpopulations selected by the collocation indicator. Subfigure 2b compares B 2 of all indicators defined in the Methods section, as well as the optimal B 2, to the B 2 of the collocation indicator.
