Heat Stress Illness Outcomes and Annual Indices of Outdoor Heat at U.S. Army Installations

This project / repository includes code used for re-analysis of work in https://github.com/sal2222/annual_hsi, following discovery of mismatched climate variables.

Markdown files

1. annual_indices

   • compile annual index tables for temperature/heat exposures (Absolute and Relative)

2. annual_data

   • join annual outcome data with annual index data

3. models

   • load and prepare data
   • create outcome-specific datasets
   • negative binomial models (with and w/out year term), non-bootstrap
   • 2-year block bootstraps (2k resamples, basic and bca CIs)
   • 3-year block bootstraps (2k resamples)
   • standard bootstrap (2k resamples)

4. model_assess

   • figures displaying rate ratios for active-duty HSI encounters at 10 CONUS U.S. Army installations per 1° increase in annual index of heat from 2-year block bootstrap negative binomial models with basic (empirical) confidence intervals based on 2,000 replicates, controlling for installation-level effects and long-term time trends. Temperature, HI, and WBGT categories reflect annual mean values in °F

   • evaluation statistics for negative binomial models

5. tables_figures

   • additional tables and figures
