https://github.com/statsthinking21/statsthinking21-coreSource files and datasets for the book 'Statistical Thinking for the 21st Century' by Russell A. Poldrack. Includes wrangled country data for clustering examples and the Galton Height dataset containing 898 cases of parental and child height measurements.
You can access the live version of the book online at http://statsthinking21.org/.
If you need to build the entire book locally, a Docker container is available on Docker Hub.
https://hub.docker.com/r/poldrack/statsthinking21/data/countries directory contains wrangled data sourced from multiple providers, specifically designed to be used in clustering examples within the statsthinking21-core repository. The primary source for country codes is the DataHub Core Country Codes dataset, which is provided under the ODC public domain dedication.The galton_height dataset is based on Francis Galton's 1885 study regarding the relationship between parental heights and the heights of their adult children. The dataset contains 898 cases, where each case represents an adult child.
Each record in the dataset includes the following variables:
Family: An identifier for the family (labeled 1 to 205).Father: The father's height in inches.Mother: The mother's height in inches.Gender: The gender of the child (M for male, F for female).Height: The height of the child in inches.Kids: The number of children in the child's family.Note: The family labeled 205 in this dataset corresponds to the family originally labeled 136A in Galton's original study.
