Hi everyone,
I am trying to see the rainfall effect on a disease. I have almost 100 years of rainfall data and after just taking a simple average I am getting the monthly average rainfall data. I also have average monthly deaths due to the disease. So in summary I have 12 months of both rainfall and death counts. I know for a fact that the rainfall affects the death count and I want to back it up with some statistical approach.
Please let me know which statistical theory or any mathematical modelling I should carry out like for example a regression that could be done using MATLAB or R or even Excel. Thank you very much in advance.
