nc.sids {spdep} | R Documentation |
The nc.sids
data frame has 100 rows and 9 columns. It contains data
given in Cressie (1991, pp. 386-9), Cressie and Read (1985) and Cressie and Chan (1989) on sudden infant deaths in North Carolina for 1974-78 and 1979-84. The data set also contains the neighbour list given by Cressie and Chan (1989) omitting self-neighbours (ncCC89.nb), and the neighbour list given by Cressie and Read (1985) for contiguities (ncCR85.nb). The data are ordered by county ID number, not alphabetically as in the source tables.
