Table 2 The type of factor interaction expression

From: Spatio-temporal distribution of tuberculosis and the effects of environmental factors in China

Formula

Interaction

q(x, y) < Min(q(x),q(y))

Weaken, nonlinear

Min(q(x), q(y)) < q(x, y) < Max(q(x),q(y))

Weaken, unilateral

q(x, y) > Max(q(x),q(y))

Enhance, bi-linear

q(x, y) = q(x) + q(y)

Independent

q(x, y) > q(x) + q(y)

Enhance, nonlinear
