Hello Everyone!
For those looking for dataset ideas for later in the class, I wanted to propose using the data at the following location:
http://www.yelp.com/dataset_challenge
This data is provided by Yelp for free and contains a subset of real-world busniess data (Phoenix, AZ). Since Yelp is a company that specializes in finding reviews, new ways to analyze this data is a very appealing subject to them, hence the challenge.
I personally have used this set briefly before, and found it interesting to work with some real world data (specifically, I was using the provided latitude and longitude coordinates).
You can access the data by providing a name and email, and agreeing to the terms of use.
Hope this can be helpful to someone! -Spencer Carver
