Details
The full data (bccovid), contains the case count for BC.
The other data has been processed from this raw file. First, it is separated out by Health Authority. Then it was "smoothed" by applying a 7 day trailing sum. By this we mean that,
cases_today = sum(cases_7days_ago:cases_today)The result is in the cases+0 column. The other columns are "shifts" of this
value. cases+14 is the response: it is the total number of cases observed
in the week ending 14 days after date. The other cases variables are
features: the total number of cases in the week ending on the date
(cases+0), 1 week earlier (cases-7) and 2 weeks earlier (cases-14).
HA is the name of the BC Health Authority. There are 5 different HAs,
and UBC is located in "Vancouver Coastal" along with Kitsilano and Downtown.
