In diseasemapping: Modelling Spatial Variation in Disease Risk for Areal Data

Larynx cancer cases and population in Kentucky

Description

Data set contains the information of population, by age, sex, and census subdivision.

Usage

data('kentucky')

Format

A SpatialPolygonsDataFrame of Kentucky boundaries and populations, case numbers for each county, and a vector of cancer rates by age and sex group.

Details

larynx is a data.frame of cancer case counts by county, obtained from http://www.cancer-rates.info and are for a single deliberately unspecified year.

kentucky contains country boundaries and populations.

kentuckyTract contains census tract boundaries and populations.

Examples

library('terra')
data('kentucky')
kentucky = terra::unwrap(kentucky)

head(larynx)
10^5*larynxRates[paste(c("M","F"), 50, sep="_")]



kentucky2 = getSMR(kentucky, larynxRates, larynx, 
		regionCode="County")

names(kentucky2)
length(kentucky2)

data('kentuckyTract')
kentuckyTract = unwrap(kentuckyTract)

length(kentuckyTract)


if(require('mapmisc', quietly=TRUE)) {
	mycol = colourScale(kentucky2$SMR, 
		breaks=10, dec=-log10(0.5), style='quantile')
	plot(kentucky2, col=mycol$plot, border='#00000040')
	legendBreaks('topright', mycol)
} else {
	terra::plot(kentucky2)
}

breaks = c(0,1,seq(2, ceiling(max(kentucky2$SMR,na.rm=TRUE)),by=2))
thecol = terrain.colors(length(breaks)-1)

plot(kentucky2, col = thecol[cut(kentucky2$SMR, 
	breaks,include.lowest=TRUE)] )

legend("topleft", pch=15, pt.cex=2.5, adj=c(0,15), 
  legend=rev(breaks), col=c(NA, rev(thecol)))
