This dataset containing the cancer mortality rates from the State Cancer Profile website at the state level for United States for the period of 2009 to 2013. The dataset is used to support examples demonstrating difference features of the SeerMapper and Seer2010Mapper packages. It was obtained through the State Cancer Profiles website at www.statecancerprofiles.cancer.gov. This data represents all races and sexes for all sites of cancer. The data was edited to remove the recent trend data and to add a pseudo-pValue based on the US age adjusted rate (AA_Rate = 168.5) and the abbreviation of any associated Seer Registry (if any). When a state contains multiple Seer Registries, the Abbreviation of "xx-MIX" is used where xx is the 2 character state abbreviation.

All of the state Cancer Mortality Rate datasets are at the county level and contains 10 columns:
is a numeric value for the state and county U. S. FIPS codes. This is used to link the data to the county and state boundary data. It must be a 4 or 5 character string. For the US States data, the 5 digit FIPS code contains 2 characters for the state FIPS and three "0" for the county.
is a character vector state name provided by State Cancer Profiles.
is a character vector containing the 2 digit state FIPS code.
is a numeric value of the age-adjust rate for the county.
is a numeric value for the lower confidence interval value for the age-adjusted rate.
is a numeric value for the upper confidence interval value for the age-adjusted rate.
is a numeric value for the average number of deaths per year. This variable is not used in this package examples.
is a character factor vector of the abbreviation of the Seer Registry the tract is a member. The Seer Registry abbreviations match the abbreviations used in the package boundaries datasets for each Seer Registry state. For Georgia the three Seer Registries are: GA-ATL, GA-RUR, and GA-OTH.
is a numeric value of 0.02 or 0.2. The pValue is set to 0.02 if the U. S. rate is not within the county's confidence interval range. It is set to 0.2 if the U. S. rate is within the interval. 0.02 indicates the county's rate is significant, while 0.2 indicates the rate is not significant.
is a logical value indicating whether the county is significant or not.
is a numeric value for the state and county U. S. FIPS codes. This is used to link the data to the county and state boundary data. It must be a 4 or 5 character string. For the US States data, the 5 digit FIPS code contains 2 characters for the state FIPS and three "0" for the county. This is a duplicate column of the stcoID column for use in demonstrating using the default location ID column name.
is a numeric value of the age-adjust rate for the county. This is duplicate column to the AA_Rate column for use in demonstrating using the default dataCol value of "Rate".
The first two rows of the data.frame represent the rate information for the state and the USA. These rows MUST be deleted before using the data.frame with the package.
The US Cancer Mortality data for the years 2009 to 2013 for all races and sexes for each state for all cancer sites was exported from the State Cancer Profile website www.statecancerprofiles.cancer.gov on September 2, 2016. The data was modified to include the pValue, state's Seer Registry abbreviation (if associated), and a validated state name.
