Description
Oral cavity cancer counts in 544 districts in Germany over 1986-1990.source
Both datasets are available from the package INLA
distributed from www.r-inla.org or from

The expected counts depend on the number of people in the
region and their age distribution.
The regions are ordered according the supplied polygon description and
adjacency graph.
There is a similar dataset data(Germany) from the package
INLA as well, with an additional smoking covariate. The exact
origins and differences between both still needs to be retrieved.References
