Modeling respiratory related mortality in California from air pollution and social deprivation data

In the application study of our submitted manuscript, we demonstrate our
proposed methodology by modeling respiratory related deaths at the county
and monthly level across California from 2015-2019. This data is
downloaded from the California Department of Public Health's
California Vital Data (Cal-ViDa) query tool. The model leverages spatial
patterns in social deprivation index (SDI) from the Society of Actuaries
(SoA) and air pollutant measurements from the US Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) to estimate the spatiotemporal dependence structure of the
response. All of the data used for this application study is publicly
available and thus will all be provided in this
repository.
