Main Catalog

File Shape Likely source family Probable upstream source Cleaned? Confidence Notes
2022 election cycle fundraising.csv 537 x 9 Kaggle / campaign-finance classroom dataset Likely the #MakeoverMonday / Kaggle version of 2022 congressional fundraising data built from FEC/OpenSecrets context: VizWiz prompt yes medium Small summary table by member, not raw FEC filings.
CardiacPatientData.csv 5,906 x 20 Academic clinical dataset Likely Cardiac Patient Bed Head Ticket Dataset mixed medium Columns match the published cardiac variables very closely; local file looks like a flat CSV export of the research data.
ForeignGifts_edu.csv 28,221 x 10 U.S. government open data U.S. Department of Education Section 117 / Foreign Gifts and Contracts Report no high Columns match the DOE spreadsheet export almost exactly.
SIPRI Military Expenditure Database.csv 5,882 x 7 SIPRI official data SIPRI Military Expenditure Database mixed high Looks like a tidy/exported slice with an added index column.
USA_cars_datasets.csv 2,499 x 13 Kaggle US Cars Dataset no high Exact filename match.
airbnb_NYC.csv 30,478 x 13 Inside Airbnb classroom/community extract Core upstream source is Inside Airbnb mixed medium Already reduced to a teaching-friendly 13-column NYC listing table; not a full raw Inside Airbnb dump.
airbnb_hw.csv 30,478 x 13 Duplicate classroom copy Same likely upstream as airbnb_NYC.csv: Inside Airbnb yes high Same shape/columns as airbnb_NYC.csv; likely the homework working copy.
ames_prices.csv 2,930 x 82 Ames Housing teaching dataset Dean De Cock’s Ames Housing data: Ames paper reference and common Kaggle mirror yes high Local codebook matches Ames; area/price naming suggests class-side renaming/cleanup.
brazil_default.csv 50,000 x 54 Brazilian credit/default dataset Upstream page not pinned down confidently; local brazil_codebook.XLS strongly suggests a Brazilian credit application/default dataset mixed low Kept in catalog because the codebook is detailed, but I could not verify a clean public landing page from the web.
car_prices.csv 92 x 20 Local/classroom derivative Likely derived from local Charlottesville Craigslist car data rather than a public canonical dataset yes medium Enriched version of the local Craigslist car scrape with extra parsed fields and free text.
cars_env.csv 524 x 13 EPA model input / policy modeling EPA CVCM / OMEGA vehicle-sheet format documented in Consumer Vehicle Choice Model documentation mixed medium predicted mpg and baseline mpg/sales suggest model-ready input rather than raw market data.
cars_hw.csv 976 x 12 Used-car classroom dataset Likely a Kaggle/community used-car dataset, but no exact upstream page confirmed yes low Filename and structure strongly suggest a homework-prepped file.
college_completion.csv 3,798 x 63 Kaggle College Completion Dataset no high Kaggle page says the data draw from NCES IPEDS and the Voluntary System of Accountability.
corporate_ratings.csv 2,029 x 31 Kaggle Corporate Credit Rating no high Exact schema match.
craigslist_cville_cars.csv 46 x 7 Local scrape Charlottesville Craigslist listings, locally scraped yes high Not a third-party packaged dataset; this looks like your own small scrape/export.
crimebystatecombinedwithunemployment.csv 1,989 x 13 Kaggle Crime rate and unemployment rate by state no high Exact filename match.
cville_weather.csv 411 x 13 NOAA climate data NOAA Climate Data Online / Daily Summaries, Charlottesville area: CDO Daily Summaries location details no high Local file uses NOAA station-style columns and station US1VACRC002.
diabetes-dataset.csv 2,000 x 9 Kaggle Likely diadata or a very similar Kaggle Pima-style repost no medium Exact filename appears on Kaggle; not the original 768-row UCI Pima file.
divorce/divorce_data.csv 170 x 55 UCI UCI Divorce Predictors data set no high Exact row count and 54 predictors + target.
drilling_rigs.csv 623 x 10 U.S. government energy data EIA monthly drilling/rig statistics family, likely from the Monthly Energy Review or a related EIA table no medium Structure looks like a straight EIA table export.
electricity_data_validation.csv 108 x 14 EIA API extract EIA electricity retail sales metadata/API: EIA open data docs yes high Small Virginia-only recent-period validation slice, clearly not the full national dataset.
energy.csv 632 x 10 EIA spreadsheet export Monthly Energy Review no high The first rows are title/release-date rows from an EIA spreadsheet export.
heart_failure_clinical_records_dataset.csv 299 x 13 UCI UCI Heart Failure Clinical Records no high Exact filename match.
iowa.csv 159,904 x 14 Iowa government open data Iowa Liquor Sales mixed high Column names match the official dataset, but this file is a classroom-sized subset/export rather than the full live table.
justice_data.parquet 22,986 x 709 Virginia official pretrial data Virginia Pre-Trial Data Project mixed high Very likely the wide official public dataset converted from CSV/XLS to Parquet for easier work.
land_mines.csv 338 x 4 UCI UCI Land Mines yes high Row count matches UCI, but headers have been made friendlier (voltage, height, soil, mine_type).
mammogram.csv 89,835 x 2 OpenIntro teaching dataset OpenIntro-style teaching distribution; see local companion doc mammogram.txt yes high Highly distilled two-column teaching version, not a raw clinical file.
metabric.csv 1,343 x 14 Kaggle / derived METABRIC subset Likely based on Breast Cancer (METABRIC) yes medium Much smaller and tidier than the common full Kaggle METABRIC tables, so this looks class-prepared.
mn_police_use_of_force.csv 12,925 x 13 OpenIntro from Minneapolis open data OpenIntro dataset page; original city source: Minneapolis use-of-force data mixed high Looks like the OpenIntro teaching distribution of Minneapolis public data.
mnist/Z_train.parquet, mnist/Z_test.parquet, mnist/y_train.parquet, mnist/y_test.parquet 60,000/10,000 image rows + labels Official benchmark dataset, locally converted Official MNIST page yes high Raw MNIST image/label split converted into Parquet matrices and label vectors.
nhanes_data_17_18.csv 8,366 x 198 NHANES CDC NHANES 2017-2018: data portal yes high This is a merged, cleaned, human-readable NHANES extract, not a raw single XPT file.
nhanes_meta_17_18.csv 197 x 18 NHANES metadata CDC NHANES 2017-2018: questionnaires/datasets page yes high Custom variable dictionary/metadata table layered on top of NHANES docs and recodes.
patents.csv 161 x 7 WIPO-derived custom extract WIPO IP Statistics Data Center yes medium Small country-by-country 2020-2021 extract; clearly a hand-selected summary rather than a raw WIPO bulk table.

pretrial_data.csv 22,986 x 17 Derived from Virginia pretrial data Virginia Pre-Trial Data Project yes high Clearly a feature-selected/engineered modeling subset of justice_data.parquet.
sharks.csv 6,462 x 257 Shark attack registry / likely community mirror Likely derived from the Global Shark Attack File no medium Messy wide structure with many empty columns suggests a raw-ish export, not a cleaned teaching table.
tech_stocks.csv 32,224 x 10 Market API export / classroom aggregation Schema matches Alpha Vantage TIME_SERIES_DAILY_ADJUSTED mixed medium Columns like close_adjusted and split_coefficient strongly suggest an Alpha Vantage-style export combined across symbols.
time_use.csv 67 x 7 ATUS/BLS-derived summary Likely derived from the American Time Use Survey / BLS ATUS releases yes medium Already aggregated to age-level summary measures; not raw diary records.
tuna.csv 10,032 x 1 Biosequence classroom data Upstream not confidently identified mixed low One-column nucleotide sequence table; almost certainly preprocessed for class use, but I could not pin a canonical public source.
us_power_consumption.csv 75 x 13 EIA-derived annual energy summary EIA energy data family / likely Monthly Energy Review yes medium Tidy annual totals table; much more processed than the raw energy.csv export.
wages_hw.csv 731 x 6 Kaggle-derived salary homework file Likely derived from a Glassdoor salary dataset such as Data Science Job Posting on Glassdoor yes medium Minimal modeling subset with avg_salary, job_state, and a few employer descriptors.
weapons-trade-register.csv CSV with SIPRI preamble + transfer rows SIPRI official data SIPRI Arms Transfers Database / register export interface no high Straight export with explanatory lines above the header; definitely near-raw.
zoo.csv 101 x 18 UCI UCI Zoo no high Classic UCI dataset with standard 101-row shape.
