Attractive data sets wanted

[Eric-Jan Wagenmakers]

Hi guys,

Together with a number of colleagues, my lab is in the process of
designing an open-source alternative to SPSS. The idea is for the
program (JASP) to provide both "regular" frequentist tests and default
Bayesian tests. At first we will focus primarily on the most popular
analyses such as ANOVA and regression.

We have made a lot of progress in the past months and now we are
looking for interesting data sets that we can use as benchmark
examples. Please let me know if you have cool data sets you'd like to
share. "Cool" means easy to explain, relatively straightforward,
perhaps with interesting stimulus material, a slightly non-standard
setup, or an implausible hypothesis.

Right now we have zero data sets, so anything is welcome (t-test,
correlation, ANOVA, regression, frequency tables, etc.).

Cheers,
E.J.

Here is some data you can use that I believe matches the criteria you need. I've attached a copy of the publication reporting the data, as well as a code sheet, to help explain it. The data is in both Excel and SPSS format.

Dear Bob,

This is a great data set! Thanks a bunch!

Cheers,

Glad to help. An open source alternative to SPSS would be wonderful, especially if it were available for Linux as well as Windows and Mac,

That's the idea; open source and cross-platform. We hope to release a
first version of the software this year.

Not sure if this will fit the bill, but the journal Judgment and Decision Making (http://journal.sjdm.org/) has been requiring data-posting for like 2 years, plenty of datasets there.

Is there a reason one cannot use PSPP as a base?

[Stephen Martin]

Sorry, I just realized I had another thought.

Is there any reason not to make (or improve) a front-end for R?
Is there any way I could see the JASP project, just 'for fun'?

Yeah so basically, R is the engine and there is some C++ GUI on top
that may look similar to SPSS. The code should be available on GitHub.
We can provide some more details soon.

Klinkt wel cool. Ga je het binnenkort een keer presenteren voor de groep?

Hi,

have you head of http://academictorrents.com/ ?
It's a new site that indexes papers and datasets for download. The site currently has 1.5 petabytes of data, apparently.

cheers,
Lutz
