auckland: Marshall's infant mortality in Auckland dataset
Description
The auckland
data frame has 167 rows (census area units --- CAU) and 4 columns. The dataset also includes the "nb" object auckland.nb
of neighbour relations based on contiguity, the "polylist" object auckpolys
of polygon boundaries for the CAU, and a matrix of CAU bounding boxes auckbbs
. The auckland
data frame includes the following columns:source
Marshall R M (1991) Mapping disease and mortality rates using Empirical Bayes Estimators, Applied Statistics, 40, 283--294; Bailey T, Gatrell A (1995) Interactive Spatial Data Analysis, Harlow: Longman --- INFOMAP data set used with permission.Details
The contiguous neighbours object does not completely replicate results in the sources, and was reconstructed from auckpolys
; examination of figures in the sources suggests that there are differences in detail, although probably not in substance.
