Helminthiases

The Soil Transmitted Helminths Project

The repositories of the Helminthiases hub


This page outlines the function of each of the hub’s repositories. Remember, the project’s underlying data is the World Health Organization’s ESPEN (Expanded Special Project for the Elimination of Neglected Tropical Diseases) geohelminths infections survey experiments data (ref. Introductory Notes).


GitHub Repository Purpose
infections Focuses on site level geohelminths infections survey experiments data. It
  • Inspects the delivered ESPEN geohelminths data; JSON objects.
  • Structures the data for exploratory analysis & modelling.
  • Identifies equivalent ESPEN geohelminths infections survey experiments site locations.
Hosts a vignette that outlines how equivalent ESPEN site locations are determined.
spatial The focus herein is geographic information processing. For each site level location of an ESPEN geohelminths infections data set, the code extracts
  • WaSH (water, sanitation, and hygiene) variables estimates
  • Population density estimates
  • Elevation estimates
from maps, and subsequently integrates the geohelminths examinations & features estimates.
preliminary
  • Missing Data Analysis: A key model development requisite is an understanding of missing data patterns.
  • Exploratory data analysis.
modelling
  • Preliminary generalised linear mixed modelling
  • Binomial geostatistical logistic modelling
