presidentData {dataMaid}

Semi-artificial data about the US presidents

Description

A dataset with information about the first 45 US presidents as well as a 46th person, who is not a US president. The dataset was constructed to show the capabilities of dataMaid and therefore, it has been constructed to include errors and miscodings. Each observation in the dataset corresponds to a person. The dataset uses the non-standard class Name which is simply an attribute that has been added to two variables in order to show how dataMaid handles non-supported classes.
