Data sets for Bayesian Analysis Short Course The following data sets are available for the Bayesian Analysis course:
Data sets for Regression Short Course The first few data sets from the class notes are listed below. The Data Set Name is the name I gave each data set in the notes. The File Name gives the name of the file containig the data set and is often the original name of the data set as well. The column Source lists where I got the data, not necessarily the original source of the data. Data sets I made up are listed as "Simulated" in the Source column. The data sets are ordered chronologically by their first appearance in the notes. I will try to add the rest of the data sets soon. If there are data sets you would particularly like to use that are not listed here please let me know which ones they are and I will add them first.
