Datasets for Data Mining, Machine Learning and Exploration

Introduction

Reference datasets for tests, benchmarks, etc.

Datasets

1. Rdatasets is a collection of 758 datasets that were originally distributed alongside the statistical software environment R and some of its add-on packages. The goal is to make these data more broadly accessible for teaching and statistical software development.

2. [+] This page contains a list of datasets that were selected for the projects for Data Mining and Exploration. Students can choose one of these datasets to work on, or can propose data of their own choice. At the bottom of this page, you will find some examples of datasets which we judged as inappropriate for the projects.
