Florida influenza-like illness data

Description

Daily influenza-like illness (ILI) incidence rates at 67 Florida counties during years 2012-2014. The ILI incidence rates were collected by the Electronic Surveillance System for the Early Notification of Community-based Epidemics (ESSENCE) that was developed by the Florida Department of Health. Researchers can have an access to the ESSENCE database after a proper online registration. Moreover, some weather conditions during years 2012-2014 can be obtained from the official website of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of the United States. The ILI dataset used here contains 8 variables, including County, Date, Lat, Long, Time, Rate (ILI incidence rate), Temp (temperature) and RH (relative humidity), from the two databases mentioned above, where Long and Lat refer to the longitude and latitude of the geometric centers of each Florida county, respectively.
