Data

Download once; everything then works offline.

Every dataset used in the course is here, so nothing depends on a website being up during class. Each session’s lab zip also contains the data that lab needs.

All course data, sessions 1–2 (zip). Unzip it and copy the files from its data-raw folder into data/raw/ in your course folder.

File Rows × columns Used in What it is
auto.csv 392 × 9 S1, S2 Cars from the 1970s–80s: mpg, cylinders, weight, origin (1 = US, 2 = Europe, 3 = Japan). The classic Auto MPG teaching dataset
auto_messy.csv 392 × 9 S2 A version of auto.csv for session 2
titanic.csv 891 × 12 S2 exercise Titanic passengers: survival, class, sex, age, fare
Register lab data per pair S3 Synthetic Swedish-style register files (persons, firms, years); one dataset per pair. Posted before session 3

The register data are synthetic: generated by a script, with invented values and publicly documented variable names. No real person or firm is in them.
