These are simulated data without any identifying information or informative birth-level covariates. We also standardize the pollution exposures on each week by subtracting off the median exposure amount on a given week and dividing by the interquartile range (IQR) (as in the actual application to the true NC birth records data). The dataset that we provide includes weekly average pregnancy exposures that have already been standardized in this way while the medians and IQRs are not given. This further protects identifiability of the spatial locations used in the analysis. This dataset is not publicly accessible because: EPA cannot release personally identifiable information regarding living individuals, according to the Privacy Act and the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). This dataset contains information about human research subjects. Because there is potential to identify individual participants and disclose personal information, either alone or in combination with other datasets, individual level data are not appropriate to post for public access. Restricted access may be granted to authorized persons by contacting the party listed. It can be accessed through the following means: File format: R workspace file; “Simulated_Dataset.RData”. Metadata (including data dictionary) • y: Vector of binary responses (1: adverse outcome, 0: control) • x: Matrix of covariates; one row for each simulated individual • z: Matrix of standardized pollution exposures • n: Number of simulated individuals • m: Number of exposure time periods (e.g., weeks of pregnancy) • p: Number of columns in the covariate design matrix • alpha_true: Vector of “true” critical window locations/magnitudes (i.e., the ground truth that we want to estimate) Code Abstract We provide R statistical software code (“CWVS_LMC.txt”) to fit the linear model of coregionalization (LMC) version of the Critical Window Variable Selection (CWVS) method developed in the manuscript. We also provide R code (“Results_Summary.txt”) to summarize/plot the estimated critical windows and posterior marginal inclusion probabilities. Description “CWVS_LMC.txt”: This code is delivered to the user in the form of a .txt file that contains R statistical software code. Once the “Simulated_Dataset.RData” workspace has been loaded into R, the text in the file can be used to identify/estimate critical windows of susceptibility and posterior marginal inclusion probabilities. “Results_Summary.txt”: This code is also delivered to the user in the form of a .txt file that contains R statistical software code. Once the “CWVS_LMC.txt” code is applied to the simulated dataset and the program has completed, this code can be used to summarize and plot the identified/estimated critical windows and posterior marginal inclusion probabilities (similar to the plots shown in the manuscript). Optional Information (complete as necessary) Required R packages: • For running “CWVS_LMC.txt”: • msm: Sampling from the truncated normal distribution • mnormt: Sampling from the multivariate normal distribution • BayesLogit: Sampling from the Polya-Gamma distribution • For running “Results_Summary.txt”: • plotrix: Plotting the posterior means and credible intervals Instructions for Use Reproducibility (Mandatory) What can be reproduced: The data and code can be used to identify/estimate critical windows from one of the actual simulated datasets generated under setting E4 from the presented simulation study. How to use the information: • Load the “Simulated_Dataset.RData” workspace • Run the code contained in “CWVS_LMC.txt” • Once the “CWVS_LMC.txt” code is complete, run “Results_Summary.txt”. Format: Below is the replication procedure for the attached data set for the portion of the analyses using a simulated data set: Data The data used in the application section of the manuscript consist of geocoded birth records from the North Carolina State Center for Health Statistics, 2005-2008. In the simulation study section of the manuscript, we simulate synthetic data that closely match some of the key features of the birth certificate data while maintaining confidentiality of any actual pregnant women. Availability Due to the highly sensitive and identifying information contained in the birth certificate data (including latitude/longitude and address of residence at delivery), we are unable to make the data from the application section publically available. However, we will make one of the simulated datasets available for any reader interested in applying the method to realistic simulated birth records data. This will also allow the user to become familiar with the required inputs of the model, how the data should be structured, and what type of output is obtained. While we cannot provide the application data here, access to the North Carolina birth records can be requested through the North Carolina State Center for Health Statistics, and requires an appropriate data use agreement. Description Permissions: These are simulated data without any identifying information or informative birth-level covariates. We also standardize the pollution exposures on each week by subtracting off the median exposure amount on a given week and dividing by the interquartile range (IQR) (as in the actual application to the true NC birth records data). The dataset that we provide includes weekly average pregnancy exposures that have already been standardized in this way while the medians and IQRs are not given. This further protects identifiability of the spatial locations used in the analysis. This dataset is associated with the following publication: Warren, J., W. Kong, T. Luben, and H. Chang.

This dataset provides geospatial location data and scripts used to analyze the relationship between MODIS-derived NDVI and solar and sensor angles in a pinyon-juniper ecosystem in Grand Canyon National Park. The data are provided in support of the following publication: "Solar and sensor geometry, not vegetation response, drive satellite NDVI phenology in widespread ecosystems of the western United States". The data and scripts allow users to replicate, test, or further explore results. The file GrcaScpnModisCellCenters.csv contains locations (latitude-longitude) of all the 250-m MODIS (MOD09GQ) cell centers associated with the Grand Canyon pinyon-juniper ecosystem that the Southern Colorado Plateau Network (SCPN) is monitoring through its land surface phenology and integrated upland monitoring programs. The file SolarSensorAngles.csv contains MODIS angle measurements for the pixel at the phenocam location plus a random 100 point subset of pixels within the GRCA-PJ ecosystem. The script files (folder: 'Code') consist of 1) a Google Earth Engine (GEE) script used to download MODIS data through the GEE javascript interface, and 2) a script used to calculate derived variables and to test relationships between solar and sensor angles and NDVI using the statistical software package 'R'. The file Fig_8_NdviSolarSensor.JPG shows NDVI dependence on solar and sensor geometry demonstrated for both a single pixel/year and for multiple pixels over time. (Left) MODIS NDVI versus solar-to-sensor angle for the Grand Canyon phenocam location in 2018, the year for which there is corresponding phenocam data. (Right) Modeled r-squared values by year for 100 randomly selected MODIS pixels in the SCPN-monitored Grand Canyon pinyon-juniper ecosystem. The model for forward-scatter MODIS-NDVI is log(NDVI) ~ solar-to-sensor angle. The model for back-scatter MODIS-NDVI is log(NDVI) ~ solar-to-sensor angle + sensor zenith angle. Boxplots show interquartile ranges; whiskers extend to 10th and 90th percentiles. The horizontal line marking the average median value for forward-scatter r-squared (0.835) is nearly indistinguishable from the back-scatter line (0.833). The dataset folder also includes supplemental R-project and packrat files that allow the user to apply the workflow by opening a project that will use the same package versions used in this study (eg, .folders Rproj.user, and packrat, and files .RData, and PhenocamPR.Rproj). The empty folder GEE_DataAngles is included so that the user can save the data files from the Google Earth Engine scripts to this location, where they can then be incorporated into the r-processing scripts without needing to change folder names. To successfully use the packrat information to replicate the exact processing steps that were used, the user should refer to packrat documentation available at https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/packrat/index.html and at https://www.rdocumentation.org/packages/packrat/versions/0.5.0. Alternatively, the user may also use the descriptive documentation phenopix package documentation, and description/references provided in the associated journal article to process the data to achieve the same results using newer packages or other software programs.
[Updated 28/01/25 to fix an issue in the ‘Lower’ values, which were not fully representing the range of uncertainty. ‘Median’ and ‘Higher’ values remain unchanged. The size of the change varies by grid cell and fixed period/global warming levels but the average difference between the 'lower' values before and after this update is 0.13°C.]What does the data show? This dataset shows the change in annual temperature for a range of global warming levels, including the recent past (2001-2020), compared to the 1981-2000 baseline period. Note, as the values in this dataset are averaged over a year they do not represent possible extreme conditions.The dataset uses projections of daily average air temperature from UKCP18 which are averaged to give values for the 1981-2000 baseline, the recent past (2001-2020) and global warming levels. The warming levels available are 1.5°C, 2.0°C, 2.5°C, 3.0°C and 4.0°C above the pre-industrial (1850-1900) period. The recent past value and global warming level values are stated as a change (in °C) relative to the 1981-2000 value. This enables users to compare annual average temperature trends for the different periods. In addition to the change values, values for the 1981-2000 baseline (corresponding to 0.51°C warming) and recent past (2001-2020, corresponding to 0.87°C warming) are also provided. This is summarised in the table below.

Instead of considering future climate change during specific time periods (e.g. decades) for this scenario, the dataset is calculated at various levels of global warming relative to the pre-industrial (1850-1900) period. The world has already warmed by around 1.1°C (between 1850–1900 and 2011–2020), whilst this dataset allows for the exploration of greater levels of warming. The global warming levels available in this dataset are 1.5°C, 2°C, 2.5°C, 3°C and 4°C. The data at each warming level was calculated using a 21 year period. These 21 year periods are calculated by taking 10 years either side of the first year at which the global warming level is reached. This time will be different for different model ensemble members. To calculate the value for the Annual Average Temperature Change, an average is taken across the 21 year period.We cannot provide a precise likelihood for particular emission scenarios being followed in the real world future. However, we do note that RCP8.5 corresponds to emissions considerably above those expected with current international policy agreements. The results are also expressed for several global warming levels because we do not yet know which level will be reached in the real climate as it will depend on future greenhouse emission choices and the sensitivity of the climate system, which is uncertain. Estimates based on the assumption of current international agreements on greenhouse gas emissions suggest a median warming level in the region of 2.4-2.8°C, but it could either be higher or lower than this level.What are the naming conventions and how do I explore the data?This data contains a field for the 1981-2000 baseline, 2001-2020 period and each warming level. They are named 'tas annual change' (change in air 'temperature at surface'), the warming level or historic time period, and 'upper' 'median' or 'lower' as per the description below. e.g. 'tas annual change 2.0 median' is the median value for the 2.0°C warming level. Decimal points are included in field aliases but not in field names, e.g. 'tas annual change 2.0 median' is named 'tas_annual_change_20_median'. To understand how to explore the data, refer to the New Users ESRI Storymap. Please note, if viewing in ArcGIS Map Viewer, the map will default to ‘tas annual change 2.0°C median’ values.What do the 'median', 'upper', and 'lower' values mean?Climate models are numerical representations of the climate system. To capture uncertainty in projections for the future, an ensemble, or group, of climate models are run. Each ensemble member has slightly different starting conditions or model set-ups. Considering all of the model outcomes gives users a range of plausible conditions which could occur in the future.For this dataset, the model projections consist of 12 separate ensemble members. To select which ensemble members to use, the Annual Average Temperature Change was calculated for each ensemble member and they were then ranked in order from lowest to highest for each location.The ‘lower’ fields are the second lowest ranked ensemble member. The ‘higher’ fields are the second highest ranked ensemble member. The ‘median’ field is the central value of the ensemble.This gives a median value, and a spread of the ensemble members indicating the range of possible outcomes in the projections. This spread of outputs can be used to infer the uncertainty in the projections. The larger the difference between the lower and higher fields, the greater the uncertainty.‘Lower’, ‘median’ and ‘upper’ are also given for the baseline period as these values also come from the model that was used to produce the projections. This allows a fair comparison between the model projections and recent past.

State politics researchers commonly employ ordinary least squares (OLS) regression or one of its variants to test linear hypotheses. However, OLS is easily influenced by outliers and thus can produce misleading results when the error term distribution has heavy tails. Here we demonstrate that median regression (MR), an alternative to OLS that conditions the median of the dependent variable (rather than the mean) on the independent variables, can be a solution to this problem. Then we propose and validate a hypothesis test that applied researchers can use to select between OLS and MR in a given sample of data. Finally, we present two examples from state politics research in which (1) the test selects MR over OLS and (2) differences in results between the two methods could lead to different substantive inferences. We conclude that MR and the test we propose can improve linear models in state politics research.

The dataset presents the distribution of median household income among distinct age brackets of householders in Normal. Based on the latest 2018-2022 5-Year Estimates from the American Community Survey, it displays how income varies among householders of different ages in Normal. It showcases how household incomes typically rise as the head of the household gets older. The dataset can be utilized to gain insights into age-based household income trends and explore the variations in incomes across households.
Key observations: Insights from 2022
In terms of income distribution across age cohorts, in Normal, householders within the 45 to 64 years age group have the highest median household income at $112,976, followed by those in the 25 to 44 years age group with an income of $83,532. Meanwhile householders within the 65 years and over age group report the second lowest median household income of $67,031. Notably, householders within the under 25 years age group, had the lowest median household income at $14,861.
When available, the data consists of estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS) 2018-2022 5-Year Estimates. All incomes have been adjusting for inflation and are presented in 2023-inflation-adjusted dollars.

Analysis of ‘🍷 Alcohol vs Life Expectancy’ provided by Analyst-2 (analyst-2.ai), based on source dataset retrieved from https://www.kaggle.com/yamqwe/alcohol-vs-life-expectancye on 13 February 2022.
--- Dataset description provided by original source is as follows ---
There is a surprising relationship between alcohol consumption and life expectancy. In fact, the data suggest that life expectancy and alcohol consumption are positively correlated - 1.2 additional years for every 1 liter of alcohol consumed annually. This is, of course, a spurious finding, because the correlation of this relationship is very low - 0.28. This indicates that other factors in those countries where alcohol consumption is comparatively high or low are contributing to differences in life expectancy, and further analysis is warranted.

The original drinks.csv file in the UNCC/DSBA-6100 dataset was missing values for The Bahamas, Denmark, and Macedonia for the wine, spirits, and beer attributes, respectively. Drinks_solution.csv shows these values filled in, for which I used the Mean of the rest of the data column.
Other methods were considered and ruled out:
beer_servings
, spirit_servings
, and wine_servings
), and upon reviewing the Bahamas, Denmark, and Macedonia more closely, it is apparent that 0 would be a poor choice for the missing values, as all three countries clearly consume alcohol.Filling missing values with MEAN - In the case of the drinks dataset, this is the best approach. The MEAN averages for the columns happen to be very close to the actual data from where we sourced this exercise. In addition, the MEAN will not skew the data, which the prior approaches would do.
The original drinks.csv dataset also had an empty data column: total_litres_of_pure_alcohol
. This column needed to be calculated in order to do a simple 2D plot and trendline. It would have been possible to instead run a multi-variable regression on the data and therefore skip this step, but this adds an extra layer of complication to understanding the analysis - not to mention the point of the exercise is to go through an example of calculating new attributes (or "feature engineering") using domain knowledge.
The graphic found at the Wikipedia / Standard Drink page shows the following breakdown:
The conversion factor from fl oz to L is 1 fl oz : 0.0295735 L
Therefore, the following formula was used to compute the empty column:
total_litres_of_pure_alcohol

These are simulated data without any identifying information or informative birth-level covariates. We also standardize the pollution exposures on each week by subtracting off the median exposure amount on a given week and dividing by the interquartile range (IQR) (as in the actual application to the true NC birth records data). The dataset that we provide includes weekly average pregnancy exposures that have already been standardized in this way while the medians and IQRs are not given. This further protects identifiability of the spatial locations used in the analysis. This dataset is not publicly accessible because: EPA cannot release personally identifiable information regarding living individuals, according to the Privacy Act and the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). This dataset contains information about human research subjects. Because there is potential to identify individual participants and disclose personal information, either alone or in combination with other datasets, individual level data are not appropriate to post for public access. Restricted access may be granted to authorized persons by contacting the party listed. It can be accessed through the following means: File format: R workspace file; “Simulated_Dataset.RData”. Metadata (including data dictionary) • y: Vector of binary responses (1: adverse outcome, 0: control) • x: Matrix of covariates; one row for each simulated individual • z: Matrix of standardized pollution exposures • n: Number of simulated individuals • m: Number of exposure time periods (e.g., weeks of pregnancy) • p: Number of columns in the covariate design matrix • alpha_true: Vector of “true” critical window locations/magnitudes (i.e., the ground truth that we want to estimate) Code Abstract We provide R statistical software code (“CWVS_LMC.txt”) to fit the linear model of coregionalization (LMC) version of the Critical Window Variable Selection (CWVS) method developed in the manuscript. We also provide R code (“Results_Summary.txt”) to summarize/plot the estimated critical windows and posterior marginal inclusion probabilities. Description “CWVS_LMC.txt”: This code is delivered to the user in the form of a .txt file that contains R statistical software code. Once the “Simulated_Dataset.RData” workspace has been loaded into R, the text in the file can be used to identify/estimate critical windows of susceptibility and posterior marginal inclusion probabilities. “Results_Summary.txt”: This code is also delivered to the user in the form of a .txt file that contains R statistical software code. Once the “CWVS_LMC.txt” code is applied to the simulated dataset and the program has completed, this code can be used to summarize and plot the identified/estimated critical windows and posterior marginal inclusion probabilities (similar to the plots shown in the manuscript). Optional Information (complete as necessary) Required R packages: • For running “CWVS_LMC.txt”: • msm: Sampling from the truncated normal distribution • mnormt: Sampling from the multivariate normal distribution • BayesLogit: Sampling from the Polya-Gamma distribution • For running “Results_Summary.txt”: • plotrix: Plotting the posterior means and credible intervals Instructions for Use Reproducibility (Mandatory) What can be reproduced: The data and code can be used to identify/estimate critical windows from one of the actual simulated datasets generated under setting E4 from the presented simulation study. How to use the information: • Load the “Simulated_Dataset.RData” workspace • Run the code contained in “CWVS_LMC.txt” • Once the “CWVS_LMC.txt” code is complete, run “Results_Summary.txt”. Format: Below is the replication procedure for the attached data set for the portion of the analyses using a simulated data set: Data The data used in the application section of the manuscript consist of geocoded birth records from the North Carolina State Center for Health Statistics, 2005-2008. In the simulation study section of the manuscript, we simulate synthetic data that closely match some of the key features of the birth certificate data while maintaining confidentiality of any actual pregnant women. Availability Due to the highly sensitive and identifying information contained in the birth certificate data (including latitude/longitude and address of residence at delivery), we are unable to make the data from the application section publically available. However, we will make one of the simulated datasets available for any reader interested in applying the method to realistic simulated birth records data. This will also allow the user to become familiar with the required inputs of the model, how the data should be structured, and what type of output is obtained. While we cannot provide the application data here, access to the North Carolina birth records can be requested through the North Carolina State Center for Health Statistics, and requires an appropriate data use agreement. Description Permissions: These are simulated data without any identifying information or informative birth-level covariates. We also standardize the pollution exposures on each week by subtracting off the median exposure amount on a given week and dividing by the interquartile range (IQR) (as in the actual application to the true NC birth records data). The dataset that we provide includes weekly average pregnancy exposures that have already been standardized in this way while the medians and IQRs are not given. This further protects identifiability of the spatial locations used in the analysis. This dataset is associated with the following publication: Warren, J., W. Kong, T. Luben, and H. Chang. Critical Window Variable Selection: Estimating the Impact of Air Pollution on Very Preterm Birth. Biostatistics. Oxford University Press, OXFORD, UK, 1-30, (2019).
