Datasets Description: |
The five Wyoming datasets were created using the above sources (refer here). The spatial datasets created summarize the poverty status, income, age, and race for the state of Wyoming. The Wyoming dataset were created using county statistics. For each county, random population coordinates were generated using the 'complete spatial randomness' (CSR) function in S-PLUS. Then, the background information was attached to each individual county based on the county’s distribution for the class of interest. Finally, all counties were merged into a single dataset that describes the whole state. |
