Variables	Mean	SD	95 % CI	R-hat
Minimum slope gradients^a	0.2941	0.1453	0.0049, 0.5777	1.0459
Proportion of paddy fields^a	0.1556	0.1493	−0.1320, 0.4565	1.0074

Model 2 is the hierarchical spatial model which included structured heterogeneity term. 95 % CI, 95 % credible interval; SD standard deviation
^aEach estimated regression coefficient is the standardized coefficient, which indicates the relative contribution to the incidence risk of bovine ephemeral fever
^bThe standard deviation of the structured heterogeneity term
