In ecohealthalliance/hotspots2: Analysis of the Hotspots dataset on disease emergence

Hotspots II Models

Location of Model Outputs

The file data/predictions.RData contains the output of the model. All variables are described in more depth in the paper.

• The columns lon and lat are WGS84 longitude and latitude. gridid is a grid cell identifier.
• bsm_weight_pubs is the model’s output weighted with publications (“observed”).
• bsm_weight_pop is the model’s output weighted with population (“bias factored out”).
• bsm_response is the model’s output weighted with neither.
• The other columns are generally predictor variables used in the model.

The weighted versions are generated by multiplying the output variables with versions of the publication and populations variables normalized to sum to 1 over the entire grid.

Getting Set Up

The data-raw directory contains all the scripts needed to import the data into the repository. The datasets are not in the directory, though. These scripts build all the working datasets to the data directory, which is under version control, so the code should all run. Original raw data is stored on EHA's AWS S3 buckets, or can be found attached to the data-raw release of this repository.
