spData (version 2.0.1)

eire: Eire data sets

Description

The Eire data set has been converted to shapefile format and placed in the etc/shapes directory. The initial data objects are now stored as a SpatialPolygonsDataFrame object, from which the contiguity neighbour list is recreated. For purposes of record, the original data set is retained. The eire.df data frame has 26 rows and 9 columns. In addition, polygons of the 26 counties are provided as a multipart polylist in eire.polys.utm (coordinates in km, projection UTM zone 30). Their centroids are in eire.coords.utm. The original Cliff and Ord binary contiguities are in eire.nb.

Format

This data frame contains the following columns:

• A Percentage of sample with blood group A

• towns Towns/unit area

• pale Beyond the Pale 0, within the Pale 1

• size number of blood type samples

• ROADACC arterial road network accessibility in 1961

• OWNCONS percentage in value terms of gross agricultural output of each county consumed by itself

• POPCHG 1961 population as percentage of 1926

• RETSALE value of retail sales British Pound000

• INCOME total personal income British Pound000

• names County names
