Description

Monthly number of notified dengue cases by municipality in the Mato Grosso do Sul state of Brazil and a set of spatial and spatio-temporal covariates.

data(dengue_MS)

Format

A data frame with 2,640 rows and 27 columns:

  • micro_code: Unique ID number for each micro region (11 units).
  • micro_name: Name of each micro region.
  • micro_name_ibge: Name of each micro region in IBGE format.
  • meso_code: Unique ID number for each meso region (4 units).
  • meso_name: Name of each meso region.
  • state_code: Unique ID number for each state (1 unit).
  • state_name: Name of each state.
  • region_code: Unique ID number given to each Brazilian Region. All observations come from the “Southeast Region”.
  • region_name: Name of each Brazilian Region. All observations come from the “Southeast Region”.
  • biome_code: Biome code.
  • biome_name: Biome name.
  • ecozone_code: Ecozone code.
  • ecozone_name: Ecozone name.
  • main_climate: Most prevalent climate regime in the microregion. Based on Koppen Geiger climate regimes.
  • month: Calendar month index, 1 = January, 12 = December.
  • year: Year 2000 - 2019.
  • time: Time index starting at 1 for January 2000.
  • dengue_cases: Number of notified dengue cases registered in the notifiable diseases system in Brazil (SINAN) in the microregion of reference, at the month of first symptoms.

  • pop_density: Population density (number of people per km2).
  • tmax: Monthly average daily maximum temperature; gridded values (at a 0.5 deg resolution) averaged across each microregion.
  • tmin: Monthly average daily minimum temperature; gridded values (at a 0.5 deg resolution) averaged across each microregion.
  • pdsi: Self-calibrated Palmer Drought Severity Index for each microregion. It measures how wet or dry a region is relative to usual conditions. Negative values represent periods of drought, positive values represent wetter periods. Calculated by taking the mean value within each microregion.
  • urban: Percentage of population living in urban areas (2010 census).
  • water_network: Percentage of population with access to the piped water network according to the 2010 census.
