Rongelap: Data Set of Rongelap Island In geoCount: Analysis and Modeling for Geostatistical Count Data

Description

This data set contains the Rongelap data.

Usage

 1 Rongelap 

Details

The data were collected from Rongelap Island, the principal island of Rongelap Atoll in the South Pacific, which forms part of the Marshall Islands.

Model based geostatistics (with discussion). Applied Statistics, 47, 299-350.

Value

A list with 4 elements:

 coords a 157 \times 2 matrix which indicates the coordinates of 157 sampled locations data a vector of length 157 indicates the counts of photo emission for 157 sampled locations units.m a vector of length 157 indicates the time (in seconds) over which the counts was accumulated borders a matrix containing the boundary information of Rongelap island
