a: GL = Gangilonga, KH = Kihesa, MK/IL = Makorongoni/Ilala.
b: Factored in three components: coverage, encountering, and recording. See additional material for an explanation of parameters.
c: α and β were estimated by the beta.select function in R (LearnBayes package) See additional material for the code and results of the elasticity analysis.
