Stat 220 Research Guide: Getting Started

Sources for finding datasets for Stat 220 projects

Welcome

StatisticsUse this guide to find some resources for finding and using statistical datasets for STAT 220 projects.

Don't hesitate to contact me to discuss your data quest. We can connect in person, via telephone, email, or Zoom online meeting.

Sample Datasets

The resources here constitute test, sample, or practice data, or representative samples of live datasets that may be used in teaching and learning statistical analysis techniques. I recommend using these when the actual topic or question of your research is secondary to learning the techniques--if that is not the case, and the substance of the data matters, see our Datasets & Statistics guide or contact our Data Services Librarian, John Heintz.
