This data.frame combines 122 variables from the 5 sources referenced below. Several PM variables appear to be predictions from EPA “CMAQ” models rather than values from validated measuring instruments. Basic LC Strategy is illustrated in demo(pmdata) using Clustering of 2973 Counties and Parishes within the contiguous 48 US States and Washington, D.C.
data(pmdata)This data.frame contains 122 variables for 2,980 US counties. A total of 738 "NA"s imply that only about two tenths of one percent of these 363,560 values are missing.
