Description

Multi-dimensional Environment-Health Risk Analysis (MEHRA) data and model for the English regions

This archive contains 4 objects in RDS (R Data Storage) format:

  • Training and testing datasets - These have been assembled to carry out the experiments described in the paper 'Modelling air pollution, climate and health data using Bayesian Networks: a case study of the English regions' by Vitolo et al. (currently under review)
  • BN model and DAG - These are the bayesian network and DAG resulting from the experiment described in the paper 'Modelling air pollution, climate and health data using Bayesian Networks: a case study of the English regions' by Vitolo et al. (currently under review)

The paper contains full details of the features, below is a short summary:

  • Data were collected in England (United Kingdom) from 1981 to 2014.
  • Mortality counts were obtained from the Office for National Statistics (ONS)
  • The counts were standardized based on yearly regional population estimates obtained from the MYEDE dataset.
  • Data from air quality monitoring stations were obtained from the UK Air Information Resource service hosted by the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA).
  • Weather variables derive from ECMWF ERA-Interim (global re-analysis dataset)
