Statistical Software: Exploratory Data Analysis and Summary Statistics

[njtierney]

Thinking about this in terms of data used to test out EDA packages, here are some brief thoughts on what data to use for EDA, to test out EDA software:

• Some specific data sets

  • Penguins - GitHub - allisonhorst/palmerpenguins: A great intro dataset for data exploration & visualization (alternative to iris).
  • Australian datasets (from GitHub - ropenscilabs/OZdatasets: OZdatasets: A Repository of Datasets Developed at rOpenSci OzUncoferences and Scraped from Other Sources)

• Structure that is needed for data sets

  • Missing Data
  • Data of the following types:
    • Factor
    • Ordered factor
    • Continuous
    • Integer
    • String/character
    • Date/Time

Perhaps requiring that datasets contain some mix of these types of data, to understand their strengths/weaknesses?
