This dataset, compiled and maintained by The New York Times, contains daily counts of COVID-19 cases and deaths at the county level in the United States. It was used in the study “Accounting for partisanship and politicization: Employing Benford’s Law to examine misreporting of COVID-19 infection cases and deaths in the United States” to assess potential misreporting of COVID-19 statistics. The dataset spans from early 2020 onwards and includes columns such as date, county, state, FIPS code, cumulative cases, and cumulative deaths.

This dataset is from longitudinal social network analysis research that collected survey data from one class of graduate students (N=142) in a Master of Social Work (MSW) program in a large U.S. public university. The program used cohort-based learning in the first semester after which students were integrated into the student body as a whole. The dataset contains network data about friendships, academic discussion ties, and professional influence among classmates. Student attribute data include archival data from the school (e.g., student demographics, incoming GPA, GRE scores) and survey items (e.g., sense of belonging scale, multicultural perspective, perceived stress).

World Happiness Report

World Happiness Report

The happiness scores and rankings use data from the Gallup World Poll. The scores are based on answers to the main life evaluation question asked in the poll. This question, known as the Cantril ladder, asks respondents to think of a ladder with the best possible life for them being a 10 and the worst possible life being a 0 and to rate their own current lives on that scale. The scores are from nationally representative samples for the years 2013-2016 and use the Gallup weights to make the estimates representative. The columns following the happiness score estimate the extent to which each of six factors – economic production, social support, life expectancy, freedom, absence of corruption, and generosity – contribute to making life evaluations higher in each country than they are in Dystopia, a hypothetical country that has values equal to the world’s lowest national averages for each of the six factors. They have no impact on the total score reported for each country, but they do explain why some countries rank higher than others. The dataset has a size of 80,86 kB.

The Heart Disease database is a well-regarded resource in the medical research community, particularly for studies related to cardiovascular conditions. It comprises data from four distinct databases: the Cleveland Clinic Foundation, the Hungarian Institute of Cardiology in Budapest, the V.A. Medical Center in Long Beach, California, and the University Hospital in Zurich, Switzerland. Each of these databases contains patient records with various medical attributes, totaling 76 features. However, most research has focused on a subset of 14 key attributes to diagnose the presence of heart disease. he dataset is relatively small, with each database containing a few hundred records. For example, the Cleveland database includes 303 instances. Given the number of attributes and instances, the dataset’s size is minimal, making it easily manageable for analysis without requiring significant storage resources. The data was collected over several years, primarily during the 1980s.

Each patient record in the dataset includes the following 14 attributes commonly used in research:​

  • Age: Age of the patient in years.​
  • Sex: Gender of the patient (1 = male; 0 = female).​
  • Chest Pain Type (cp): Categorical variable indicating the type of chest pain experienced, with values ranging from 0 to 3.​
  • Resting Blood Pressure (trestbps): Resting blood pressure in mm Hg upon hospital admission.​
  • Serum Cholesterol (chol): Serum cholesterol level in mg/dl.​
  • Fasting Blood Sugar (fbs): Binary variable indicating if fasting blood sugar is greater than 120 mg/dl (1 = true; 0 = false).​
  • Resting Electrocardiographic Results (restecg): Categorical variable with values 0 to 2 indicating ECG results.​
  • Maximum Heart Rate Achieved (thalach): Maximum heart rate achieved during exercise.​
  • Exercise-Induced Angina (exang): Binary variable indicating if exercise-induced angina occurred (1 = yes; 0 = no).​
  • ST Depression (oldpeak): ST depression induced by exercise relative to rest.​
  • Slope of the Peak Exercise ST Segment (slope): Categorical variable with values 0 to 2.​
  • Number of Major Vessels Colored by Fluoroscopy (ca): Integer value ranging from 0 to 3.​
  • Thalassemia (thal): Categorical variable indicating blood disorder status (3 = normal; 6 = fixed defect; 7 = reversible defect).​
  • Diagnosis of Heart Disease (target): Integer value ranging from 0 to 4, indicating the presence and severity of heart disease.
