Data Packages

1. Random Data

For my POL 051 discussion sections I have developed a data package called RandomData. In this data package I have added curated datasets for my students to show them examples of code. The goal of the data package is to include various data sets to help students grasp the basics of R and concepts around analyzing and visualizing data.

Included in the data package is:

  • F1 Race Statistics
  • F1 Driver Statistics
  • F1 Constructor Statistics
  • ANES 2008 Time Series Data
  • ACLED Conflict Data from Mexico and Colombia

Upcoming Additions:

  • 2025 - 2026 NHL and PWHL Statistics

View the Data Package on GitHub

To install the package in R:

 install.packages("remotes")
 remotes::install_github("hbdaarstad/RandomData")

2. Upcoming: 2000 - 2025 Mexico Municipiality President Election Data

I am currently constructing a data set from 2000 to 2025 on Municipality Presidential Elections in Mexico. The data set will include the gender, party identification, vote totals, etc.
