Data and supporting R script for: Tissue Tropism and Transmission Ecology Predict Virulence of Human RNA Viruses

Ecological trait data for 214 human RNA virus species collected via literature search and supporting R scripts for classification tree and random forest analyses. <br>Data describes known virulence and fatalities, transmission routes, tissue tropisms, and host range for each virus species. Data was compiled via structured literature searches following Woolhouse &amp; Brierley (2018). Full data dictionary is provided in-file.

本数据集包含通过文献检索收集的214种人类RNA病毒的生态性状数据，以及用于分类树（classification tree）与随机森林（random forest）分析的配套R脚本（R script）。数据涵盖各病毒物种已知的毒力、致死性、传播途径、组织嗜性与宿主范围。本数据集依据Woolhouse与Brierley（2018）提出的研究方法，通过结构化文献检索完成汇编，完整的数据字典已包含在文件内。
