Pausanias Analysis

Reference guide for the MANTO place-survival model

Connectedness Feature Guide

Definitions, calculations, current coefficients, outcome-group distributions, and place examples for every input in the connectedness feature family.

41 features, documented separately. All examples come from the current one-row-per-MANTO-place model cohort. “Neighbour” means the operational MANTO graph/locality neighbourhood, not a fixed geographic radius.
