Abstract
This study examines regional monitoring networks in Nigeria, focusing on the adoption rates of these systems. A Bayesian hierarchical model was employed to analyse data from various Nigerian monitoring networks. The model accounts for regional variability in adoption rates using latent variables. In one region, the estimated adoption rate of the monitoring system was found to be above 80% with a confidence interval of [75%, 85%]. The Bayesian hierarchical model effectively captured regional differences and provided reliable estimates of adoption rates. Further replication studies should consider including additional regions to validate the robustness of the model across Nigeria's diverse geographical settings.
