hurricaneexposure - Explore and Map County-Level Hurricane Exposure in the United States

Allows users to create time series of tropical storm exposure histories for chosen counties for a number of hazard metrics (wind, rain, distance from the storm, etc.). This package interacts with data available through the 'hurricaneexposuredata' package, which is available in a 'drat' repository. To access this data package, see the instructions at <https://github.com/geanders/hurricaneexposure>. The size of the 'hurricaneexposuredata' package is approximately 20 MB. This work was supported in part by grants from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (R00ES022631), the National Science Foundation (1331399), and a NASA Applied Sciences Program/Public Health Program Grant (NNX09AV81G).

eesim - Simulate and Evaluate Time Series for Environmental Epidemiology

Provides functions to create simulated time series of environmental exposures (e.g., temperature, air pollution) and health outcomes for use in power analysis and simulation studies in environmental epidemiology. This package also provides functions to evaluate the results of simulation studies based on these simulated time series. This work was supported by a grant from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (R00ES022631) and a fellowship from the Colorado State University Programs for Research and Scholarly Excellence.
