denguedatasets is an R package that provides a curated collection of
open-access dengue fever surveillance and climate datasets for
epidemiological research and machine learning. It includes surveillance
records, climatic covariates, and mortality indicators from Bangladesh,
the Philippines, Taiwan, Sri Lanka, Brazil, Colombia, Pakistan, India,
Peru, Indonesia, and Sierra Leone, covering case counts, deaths,
case-fatality rates, and associated meteorological variables
(temperature, humidity, precipitation) suitable for spatiotemporal
analysis, outbreak prediction, machine learning, and time-series
modeling. Original sources come from Kaggle.
The authors’ vision is to create data packages, functions, or a combination of both in Julia, R, and Python, contributing to the interoperability of algorithms and data to transform the information into decisions that help solve specific problems.
In the case of data packages, the authors’ vision is to create specialized packages focused on specific topics and subtopics. Instead of searching through multiple diverse and heterogeneous sources, users can access all these interesting datasets in a single package.
Specifically, in the case of the denguedasets package, each included dataset is specialized in dengue fever, providing a valuable source of information for academics, data scientists, statisticians, modelers, university professors, or students interested in working with this combination of topics.
You can install the development version of denguedatasets from GitHub with:
# install.packages("pak")
# pak::pak("fdzul/denguedatasets")
install.packages("denguedatasets", repos = c('https://fdzul.r-universe.dev', 'https://cloud.r-project.org'))
This is a basic example which shows you how to solve a common problem:
library(denguedatasets)
## basic example code
data("dengue_peru", package = "denguedatasets")
