Time Series Analysis of Records of Asthmatic Attacks in New York City

摘要

One of several methods developed to search for temporo-spatial patterns in the health variable, as an alternative method to overcome certain shortcomings that afflict the usual techniques of studying the acute health effects of air pollution by multiple regression analyses, were used in an epidemiological study of asthmatic attacks in two areas of New York City (Harlem and Brooklyn), where aerometric monitoring stations are located to provide data on daily fluctuations in air pollution levels. Sulfur dioxide and smokeshade were used as independent variables in the studies. (ERA citation 03:020044)
