Breast cancer mortality in the Northeastern United States
Description
Data related to breast cancer mortality in the
Northeastern United States. The data include information
from 245 counties (or similar). The following variables
are included in the data frame:
-
id: A name-based id for each county.
-
cases: The number of breast cancer
mortality cases between 1988-1992.
-
population: The number of residents in the county
based on 1990 U.S. census results.
-
x: An x coordinate of a centroid associated
with each county provided by Kulldorff et al. (2003). See
Details.
-
y: A y coordinate of a centroid associated
with each county provided by Kulldorff et al. (2003). See
Details.
-
easting: Identical to x. Retained for
reverse compatibility.
-
northing: Identical to y. Retained for
reverse compatibility.
Details
The x and y coordinates define centroids
associated with each county. The coordinates were
provided by Kulldorf et al. (2003). The coordinate system
of these coordinates is unknown.
