ok_tornado: Tornado data for Oklahoma, 1950 - 2015
In cwcartmell/maRkov: Goodness-of-fit Tests for Binary Markov Chains

Description Usage Format

A data set documenting the presence of tornadic activity in Oklahoma. Each row represents a year, starting with 1950, and ending in 2015, and each column is a day of that year. Each day on which a tornado occurred is marked encoded as a 1 and each day without tornadic activity is encoded as a 0. The data is inspired by, but not drawn from, the paper "A Markov Chain Model of Tornadic Activity" by Mathias Drton, Caren Marzban, Peter Guttorp, and Joseph T. Schaefer. As mentioned in their paper, "day 366 of a non-leap year is coded as a non-tornadic day. This is not expected to adversely affect the results." Data is sourced from the National Weather Service Weather Forecast Office in Norman, Oklahoma, and can be found at http://www.srh.noaa.gov/oun/?n=tornadodata-ok-monthlyannual .
