Replication Data for: Understanding Spatial Regression Models from a Weighting Perspective in an Observational Study of Superfund Remediation

This data contains treatment and confounder data used in the preprint \"Understanding Spatial Regression Models from a Weighting Perspective in an Observational Study of Superfund Remediation\" (Woodward, Dominici, Zubizarreta). The final dataset, named buffers, is at the level of the Superfund site (n = 1583). This dataset can be accessed by loading preprocessed_superfunds.RData into R. The binary treatment data, describing whether a Superfund site was remediated and removed from the National Priorities List between 2001 and 2015, is derived from publicly-available data on Superfund site status (source: EPA ArcGIS). Confounder data is derived from the 2000 Decennial Census using tidycensus. The R code used to curate this dataset directly from the publicly available data sources is provided (preprocessing.R).
