Simulated epidemiological data with independent spatial replicates

A simulated longitudinal dataset containing complete environmental exposure profiles for fixed field locations observed across independent epidemiological replicates. The dataset is intended for demonstrating distributed exposure-lag models with separate spatial fields across epidemic replicates.

Usage

spatial_replicate

Format

A data frame with rows representing temporal observations within epidemic exposure profiles and the following variables:

epi_id: Unique identifier combining field location and epidemiological replicate.
location_id: Identifier for the field location.
epidemic_replicate: Identifier for an independent epidemiological replicate.
block: Experimental block identifier within a replicate.
block_id: Identifier combining epidemiological replicate and experimental block.
time: Chronological time index within each epidemic profile.
x_coord: First numeric spatial coordinate of the field location.
y_coord: Second numeric spatial coordinate of the field location.
tmean: Daily mean temperature in degrees Celsius.
wetness: Daily leaf wetness duration in hours.
rain: Daily rainfall in millimeters.
y: Non-negative count disease outcome repeated across the rows of each epidemic profile.

Source

Simulated for the EpiExposure package.

Details

The response and location-level descriptors are repeated across the temporal rows belonging to the same epidemic because each complete exposure profile is associated with one final epidemic-level disease outcome.
