SpatialPolygonsDataFrame for New York
leukemia data.
Description
A SpatialPolygonsDataFrame object containing New
York leukemia data. Methods for
SpatialPolygonsDataFrame are provided by the
sp package, which must be loaded to make full use
of this data format.
The number of incident leukemia cases from 1978-1982 per
census tract for an 8-county region of upstate New York.
This is the same data as in nydf in a different
format.
Note that the coordinates in the polygons have been
projected to a different coordinate system (UTM, zone 18)
compared to nydf, but the order of the
regions/polygons is the same as in nydf.
Usage
data(nysp)
Format
A SpatialPolygonsDataFrame with 281 rows
and 17 columns:
- areaname
The name of the region.
- areakey
Census tract id.
- xorig
x-coordinate associated with the centroid of each region on the ORIGINAL scale.
- yirug
y-coordinate associated with the centroid of each region on the ORIGINAL scale.
- pop8
The population (1980 census) of the region.
- tractcas
The number of leukemia cases between 1978-1982, rounded to two decimal places.
- propcas
The proportion of cases relative to population.
- pctownhome
The percentage of homeowners in the tract.
- pctage65p
The percentage of residents aged 65 or older.
- Z
A transformation of exposure to TCE, specifically log(1000(TCE + 1)/pop8).
- avgidist
Average inverse distance to the nearest TCE site.
- pexpossure
- cases
The number of leukemia cases between 1978-1982.
- xm
A shifted version of x.
- ym
A shifted version of y.
- x
x-coordinate associated with the centroid of each region.
- y
y-coordinate associated with the centroid of each region.
