Nonetheless, it would be of value to confirm this empirically.

<!-- * Discussion of the overall area versus point question. Papers of Sam using point level. -->
This chapter used area-level models to for point-level data throughout.
This chapter used area-level models to for data which arises by aggregation of point-level data.
However, @konstantinoudis2020discrete found that using a point-level LGCP model rather than an area-level BYM model may have significant benefits.
The work in this chapter does not address the broader question of under which circumstances use of an area or point-level model is sensible.

Use of the DIC is strongly discouraged by @vehtari2017practical.
This study used less flawed measures of model performance, such as the cross-validated CRPS.
It would be beneficial to compute the DIC and WAIC in Section \@ref(hiv-study) as a comparison.
Additionally, the measures presented in this work are disaggregated by area.
With refinements to the sample sizes used, these disaggregated measures could enable nuanced findings about spatial random effect models.
Additionally, the measures used in this study were computed and presented by individual area.
With refinements to the sample sizes used, these area-specific measures of performance could enable more nuanced conclusions about the use of spatial random effect models.

Cross-validation was performed using $\rho$ as the forecasting target, rather than $y$ as is typical.
This decision was made because applied interest is in forecasting HIV prevalence at a district level, not forecasting the outcome of a household survey.

I have altered the sentence as follows:
"This chapter used area-level models to for data which arises by aggregation of point-level data."

> *67: "measures are disaggregated by area" - not sure of the point here.*

I have altered the text to clarify the point:
"Additionally, the measures used in this study were computed and presented by individual area.
With refinements to the sample sizes used, these area-specific measures of performance could enable more nuanced conclusions about the use of spatial random effect models."
