# SOCR Data

## SOCR Educational Materials - SOCR Data

The links below contain a number of datasets that may be used for demonstration purposes in probability and statistics education. There are two types of data - simulated (computer-generated using random sampling) and observed (research, observationally or experimentally acquired).

SOCR Data

## Simulated data

The SOCR resources provide a number of mechanisms to simulate data using computer random-number generators. Here are some of the most commonly used SOCR generators of simulated data:

## Observed data

The following collections include a number of real observed datasets from different disciplines, acquired using different techniques and applicable in different situations.

### Other Data

In addition to human interactions with the SOCR Data, we provide several machine interfaces to consume and process these data.

• SOCR Data can be copy pasted directly from the Wiki HTML pages into any of the SOCR Java applets.
• SOCR Data can also be loaded into an R computational environment automatically using the protocol below illustrated with the case of a Parkinson's Disease dataset:
library(rvest)

html_nodes(wiki_url, "#content")

pd_data <- html_table(html_nodes(wiki_url,"table")[[1]])
