Breakpoints for the Plasmodium falciparum and P. vivax rates A F statistic for the falciparum malaria rate, the solid line is the 95% upper tail of the distribution for the F Statistic [24,25]B Empirical fluctuation period of the CUSUM test, the maximum value is in may 1992 C Variance of the Kolmogorov-Zurbenko adaptive filter, the dashed line is the 95% upper tail of the exponential distribution for this statistic, the maximum value corresponds to may 1992 D F statistic for the vivax malaria rate, the solid line is the 95% upper tail of the distribution for the F Statistic [24,25]E Empirical fluctuation period of the CUSUM test for, the maximum value is in January 1992 F Variance of the Kolmogorov-Zurbenko adaptive filter. In A, B and D, E the redline is the threshold value for breakpoint significance [23,24]. In C and F the blue dashed line is the 95% upper tail of the exponential distribution for this statistic, the maximum value corresponds to December 1992.
