SOCR Simulated HELP Data Activity

SOCR Simulated HELP Data

See the SOCR Simulated HELP Data first. These data can be copy-pasted using the mouse from the HTML table into a plain text file "help_data.csv".

R examples

These simulated HELP data can be used to demonstrate (using SOCR and R)a number of different statistical, modeling, inferential and data analytic techniques.
