Data Packages
RandomData
For my POL 051 discussion sections I developed a data package called RandomData. It includes curated datasets to help students grasp the basics of R and concepts around analyzing and visualizing data.
Included datasets:
- F1 Race, Driver & Constructor Statistics
- ANES 2008 Time Series Data
- ACLED Conflict Data from Mexico and Colombia
- Upcoming: 2025–2026 NHL and PWHL Statistics
To install in R:
install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("hbdaarstad/RandomData")Upcoming: Mexico Municipality Presidential Election Data
I am currently constructing a dataset of municipality-level presidential elections in Mexico from 2000 to 2025, including candidate gender, party identification, and vote totals.
