Question

A) Using the dataset us_contagious_diseases , draw a time series plot for "smallpox" disease and do not include the years in which the cases were not reported in 10 or more weeks. (Submit the screenshot of code as well as graph) Using R language.

b) For the state of California, make a time series plot showing rates for all diseases and comment. Include only years with 10 or more weeks reporting. Use a different color for each disease.(use suitable formula for calculating rate) Using R language.

Answer 1

To draw a time series plot for 'smallpox' disease and rates of all diseases in California using the 'us_contagious_diseases' dataset in R language.

Step-by-step explanation:

To draw a time series plot for the 'smallpox' disease using the dataset 'us_contagious_diseases' in R language, you can follow these steps:

1. Load the dataset into R.
2. Filter the dataset to include only the 'smallpox' disease and the years with at least 10 weeks of reported cases.
3. Create a time series plot using the filtered data.
4. Remove the years with missing data from the plot.
5. Save the plot as a screenshot to submit.

For the second part of the question, to make a time series plot showing rates for all diseases in California, you will need to calculate the rates for each disease. The formula for calculating rate is (number of cases / population) * 1000. Then, you can create a plot with different colors for each disease and include only the years with 10 or more weeks of reporting.
