dataset

posted on 2013-12-30, 14:14 authored by Caitlin RiversCaitlin Rivers

Data are case counts and morbidities from the CDC website, for the fungal meningitis outbreak. Case counts are now updated infrequently. Newest data from 10/23/13.

Fungalmeningitiscasecounts.csv is a time series of case counts by state.

Morbidities_cdc.csv is a breakdown of morbidities by state, using most recent data (10/23/13). This file does not include historical data. There is a column with exposures by state; those data are from [1].

Some basic analyses are available on my blog (see link below)
