Data Preparation

I import the microblog data set into the JMP at first. Firstly, I exclude 48 rows of missing text. Next, I separate the location into longitude and latitude through Word function. Then, because these locations are at the western hemisphere, I change the longitude coordinates into negative value by Num function. In addition, to exclude the irrelevant information, I create the subset dataset which consists of main flulike symptoms, such as chill, flu, fever, sweat, pain, fatigue, ache, cough, breath, nausea, vomit, diarrhea. Here, I use the Text Explorer in JMP to generate these new columns.
