Relative effects of significant variables of the final model explaining the variation of human TBE infections in southern Germany. The effect of single variables on the probability of TBE incidence was estimated by predicting the full model on the entire range of the target variable. Non-target variables entered the model prediction with their mean value and using the year 2001 as reference. For a definition of the variables shown in a) - j), see Table 1.
