1.12 nycflights13-flights🔗ℹ

336776 rows × 19 columns, fetch tier. Downloads 33.2 MB (flights.csv, Rdatasets’ CSV of nycflights13 1.0.2) and converts it to the 336,776 flights that departed EWR, JFK and LGA in 2013, in R’s row order. CRAN’s .rda is bzip2-compressed, which base Racket cannot read, so Rdatasets is the source (code MIT, data unchanged). Its rownames column is dropped and empty fields are missing. Columns keep their R types: integers stay integers, doubles are reals; names normalized to kebab-case. The R POSIXct time_hour (America/New_York) is an ISO 8601 UTC string. The other four tables are bundled in datasets-r: nycflights13-airlines, nycflights13-airports, nycflights13-planes and nycflights13-weather.

1.13 zip🔗ℹ

9298 rows × 258 columns, fetch tier. Downloads 2.27 MB (two gzipped text files) and converts them to one row per 16 x 16 USPS digit: the 7,291 training rows, then the 2,007 test rows, in file order. Pixels are pixel1 to pixel256 in row-major order, read as R’s read.table reads them, so the 170 -0.0000 values of zip.train.gz stay negative zeros. License NOASSERTION: the book’s data page states no terms; the files are fetched for use and never redistributed. The same values are in CRAN ElemStatLearn 2015.6.26.2 (GPL (>= 2)); its zip.test has 68 more negative zeros.
