In spselect: Selecting Spatial Scale of Covariates in Regression Models

Description

Simulated input data (in stacked array format)

Usage

data(X.3D)

Format

A 20x3x3 stacked array with the following stacks:

ind

a numeric array containing an individual-level variable (x1)

ss1

a numeric array containing area-level variables (x2, x3) available at ss1

ss2

a numeric array containing area-level variables (x2, x3) available at ss2

Details

The data consist of simulated variables, including an individual-level covariate (x1) and two area-level covariates (x2, x3) available at two different spatial scales (ss1, ss2). The data are in the form of a 3-D or stacked array, where each stack represents a particular level of covariates, including spatial scale. The first stack contains the individual-level variable; the second and third stacks contain the area-level variables at the ss1 and ss2 levels, respectively. Note that in cases where values are only present for a covariate at certain levels, that covariate is assigned missing values at all other levels.
