Evaluation of model performance for estimating sanitation access across African countries, utilizing data excluding Afrobarometer survey results (external validation set).

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.

| Scope | Recorded value |
| --- | --- |
| Task | Sanitation access estimation |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | African countries without Afrobarometer survey data (external-val) |
| Metric | Weighted MAE |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Lower is better |
| Results loaded | 1 of 1 |
| Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark |

Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol.

## Metrics

- [Weighted MAE](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/sanitation-access-estimation-on-african-countries-without-afrobarometer-survey-data-external-val.md?metric=Weighted%20MAE>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [Population Within 10 pp (M)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/sanitation-access-estimation-on-african-countries-without-afrobarometer-survey-data-external-val.md?metric=Population%20Within%2010%20pp%20(M)>): Higher is better; unit: SIZE.
