A synthetic dataset containing 42 domains with multiple response variables representing various probability distributions (Gaussian, Poisson, Binomial, Beta, Negative Binomial, and Gamma). Designed for testing and benchmarking generalized linear and spatial small area estimation models (EBP / INLA). It shares the 42-domain spatial structure of mys_proxmat.

Usage

data(sim_area)

Format

A data frame with 42 rows and 14 variables:

area

Integer domain identifier (1 to 42).

x1

Continuous explanatory covariate.

x2

Uniform explanatory covariate.

y_gaussian

Gaussian direct estimator response with unsampled domains as NA.

vardir

Direct sampling variance for Gaussian Fay-Herriot model.

y_poisson

Count response (Poisson) with unsampled domains as NA.

exposure

Expected population count / exposure offset for Poisson model.

y_binomial

Number of successes (Binomial) with unsampled domains as NA.

trials

Sample size / number of trials for Binomial model.

y_beta

Continuous proportion response in (0, 1) for Beta regression.

y_nbinomial

Overdispersed count response for Negative Binomial model.

y_gamma

Skewed positive continuous response for Gamma regression.

x_coord

Centroid x coordinate.

y_coord

Centroid y coordinate.

Source

Simulated using sim_area_data based on the spatial proximity structure of mys_proxmat.
