In MRFcov: Markov Random Fields with Additional Covariates

#' Blood parasite occurrences in New Caledonian birds.
#'
#' A dataset containing binary occurrences of four blood parasite species
#' in New Caledonian birds. The first four variables represent the parasite occurrences
#' and the last variable is a scaled continuous covariate representing host relative
#' abundance.
#'
#' @format A data frame with 449 rows and 5 variables:
#' \describe{
#'   \item{Hzosteropis}{binary occurrence of \emph{Haemoproteus zosteropis}}
#'   \item{Hkillangoi}{binary occurrence of \emph{Haemoproteus killangoi}}
#'   \item{Plas}{binary occurrence of \emph{Plasmdodium} species}
#'   \item{Microfilaria}{binary occurrence of Microfilaria species}
#'   \item{scale.prop.zos}{scaled numeric variable representing relative abundance
#'   of \emph{Zosterops} host species}
#' }
