Key takeaways
- The post compiled a list of publicly available datasets for readers to practice data analysis, spanning open city data, sciences, and public policy.
- Listed sources included Palo Alto and Chicago open data portals, NASA Open Data, the Airlines Dataset covering 1987 through 2007, and the Capital Bikeshare trip history data.
- The post pointed readers to the H2O docs page at docs.0xdata.com for both the dataset list and tutorials on analyzing the data in H2O.
For your data analysis pleasure, I give you a giant list of super cool publicly available data. If you’re looking at the data sets and wondering “now what?” – you can find this list AND tutorials on how to use H2O for analysis at the H2O docs page (here: http://docs.0xdata.com).
You can also get a detailed hands on experience analyzing any of this data, random numbers you might have laying around, stuff you made up, or whatever you want by coming to any of our upcoming meetups and hanging out with the 0xdata math team (http://www.meetup.com/H2Omeetup/).
