Analysis scripts for the paper "Atmospheric aerosol and the occurrence of localized meningitis epidemics: an ecological analysis of high spatial resolution data in Burkina Faso" #+title: Supporting analyses for the paper "A health-center level analysis of bacterial meningitis putative risk factors in Burkina Faso: operational perspectives" #+date: March 2017 Here are the scripts used to derive the figures of the paper "A health-center level analysis of bacterial meningitis putative risk factors in Burkina Faso: operational perspectives" (manuscript in preparation). The aim is to make sure that the analyses are fully reproducible, that is: - The full dataset will be available upon request. They remain the property of the Direction de la Lutte contre la Maladie, Burkina Faso - The preprocessing and analysis scripts are made public here This document is organized as follows: 1. Organization of the repository: where to find the analyses, the scripts, etc. 2. Processed data: we introduce the intermediate analysis files that were derived and then used for the analysis 3. Figures: we introduce the rationale and the key steps of the analysis behind each figure (this do not prevent you from reading the code) 4. Additional analyses: additional analysis that might be of interest, even if they didn't end up in the paper. These scripts are released under the GNU General Public License v3 or newer (GPLv3+). This means that you have the right to use, to study and modify the code and to share the modifications. Please keep a mention of the initial author. Also, the scripts are written in =R=. Sometimes the code might be hard to read/hard to follow, feel free to contact the authors for clarification. * Organization of the repository ** File architecture *Disclaimer:* this repository do not contain the datasets. These datasets are available upon request at the DLM or from the corresponding author. The repository is organized in several folders and subfolders: 1. =scripts=: this folder contains only the scripts to generate the data. 2. =figures=: this folder contains the figures that were included in the manuscript. The output might not be exactly the …
