co99_M_data: U. S. County data table for Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico...

In satscanMapper: 'SaTScan' (TM) Results Mapper

U. S. County data table for Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico counties containing the projected coordinates of the state's county centroids.

Description

Contains the U. S. county information for Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico needed by the satscanMapper package to create the coordinates file to be used by SaTScan (TM). The main coordinates and boundary files were modified to shift Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico to better positions on the US map. To be able to create a coordinates file based on the location IDs in the *.pop and *.cas input files to SaTScan (TM), the coordinates must be based on the original Lat and Long and not the moved locations. This dataset contains the unmoved projected coordinates of the of the centroids for all of the counties in the three affected states. Once the analysis is completed, only the mapping coordinates are needed.
