Pirates
pirates.txt This data set correlates global temperature and pirates. It is originally compiled by Bobby Henderson (The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster) in his Open Letter to Kansas School Board in protest of teaching intelligent design as a substitute for evolution. It may be used in an elementary data analysis class to illustrate the concept that correlation does not imply causation.
Ants
ants.csv This data was used in QERM 598 for simple two-sample comparison tests. This original data comes from two accompanying data files from a study on the foraging habits of two species of ants: thatch ants (Formica planipilis) and seed
harvester ants (Pogonomyrmex salinus). The original two files submitted by Peter Nonacs, can be found at the UCLA Data Library.
