Sample Data Sets

As data from SEER*Stat are protected, we cannot use data directly extracted from SEER*Stat as sample data here. However, a “public” version of SEER*Stat data are available through the NCI GIS portal that displays the NCI Cancer Atlas (https://gis.cancer.gov/canceratlas/app/). At this point, the Cancer Atlas portal does not support the class separability classification method.

The two sample datasets provided below are downloaded from the Cancer Atlas website with post-data processing procedures. Therefore, the sample data are not directly download products from the site. However, the original data are maintained to the best of our capability and knowledge.

Dataset #1

The first dataset is Age-Adjusted Incidence Rates by State (2010 to 2014) All Races Breast (Female). A map of the rates generated by the Cancer Atlas portal is included below. The zip file below includes the .dic and the .txt files, as if they were downloaded from SEER*Stat.

Dataset #2

The second dataset is Age-Adjusted Incidence Rates by County (2010 to 2014) All Races All Cancer Sites (Both Sexes). A map of the rates generated by the Cancer Atlas portal is included below. The rate table was processed and was merged with the shapefile of the U.S. county boundary file. The zip file below includes the shapefiles with table columns for the rate data.

Note that the ways that ArcGIS and SEER*Stat in handling missing or suppressed data are different. As a result, the “0”s in ArcGIS can mean “missing/suppressed” data.
