  1. The coefficients to assess the relationship between the proportion infected holdings and the NUTS 2 region and quarter of the year. The multivariable regression is calculated from the outcome in a stochastic simulation to explore the spread of Verotoxigenic Escherichia coli O157:H7 (VTEC O157) in the entire Swedish cattle population based on data reported to the Swedish Board of Agriculture during the period 2005-07- 01 to 2013-12-31.
