Asthma: Daily Presentations of Asthma at Campbelltown Hospital

Description

The data arose from a single hospital (at Campbelltown) as part of a larger (ongoing) study into the relationship between atmospheric pollution and the number of asthma cases presenting themselves to various emergency departments in local hospitals in the South West region of Sydney, Australia.

Usage

data(Asthma)

Format

A data frame containing the following columns:

[, 1]	Count	Daily counts of asthma at Campbelltown Hospital.
[, 2]	Intercept	A vector of ones, providing the intercept in the model.
[, 3]	Sunday	Takes value one for Sundays, otherwise zero.
[, 4]	Monday	Takes value one for Mondays, otherwise zero.
[, 5]	CosAnnual	cos((2*pi*t)/365), annual cosine term.
[, 6]	SinAnnual	sin((2*pi*t)/365), annual sine term.
[, 7]	H7	Scaled lagged and smoothed humidity variable.
[, 8]	NO2max	Maximum daily nitrogen dioxide.
[, 9:16]	T1.1990 - T2.1993	Smooth shapes to capture school terms in each year.

Examples

### Example with asthma data
data(Asthma)
y <- Asthma[,1]
X <- as.matrix(Asthma[,2:16])

## Model in Davis, Dunsmuir and Streett (2003)

## MA(7) specification - see Davis, Dunsmuir and Streett (2003)

## Pearson Residuals, Fisher Scoring
glarmamod <- glarma(y, X, thetaLags = 7, type = "Poi", method = "FS",
                    residuals = "Pearson", maxit = 100, grad = 1e-6)
glarmamod
summary(glarmamod)

likTests(glarmamod)
plot.glarma(glarmamod)

if (FALSE) {
