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, and the "polylist" object auckpolys
of polygon boundaries for the CAU. 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.
