| Title: | Teaching Data for Statistics and Data Science |
|---|---|
| Description: | Provides data sets for teaching statistics and data science courses. It includes a sample of data from John Edmund Kerrich's famous coinflip experiment. These are data that I used for teaching SOC 4015 / SOC 5050 at Saint Louis University (SLU). The package also contains an R Markdown template with the required formatting for assignments in my courses SOC 4015, SOC 4650, SOC 5050, and SOC 5650 at SLU. |

The goal of testDriveR is to provide data sets for teaching
statistics and data science courses. This package includes a sample of
data from John Edmund Kerrich's famous coinflip experiment. These are data
that I use for teaching SOC 4015 / SOC 5050
at Saint Louis University.
There are currently five data sets that are included in the package:
auto17 - A data set containing model year 2017 vehicles
for sale in the United States
childMortality - A data set containing childhood mortality
time series data by country from UNICEF
gss14 - A data set containing a selection of variables
related to work and education from the 2014 General Social Survey
gss14_simple - A simple version of gss14 without
factors created and without missing data explicitly declared
kerrich - A data set containing 2000 trials of coin flips by
John Edmund Kerrich
