UCI Datasets: "Air quality" and "US Census (1990)"

Description

Air Quality

This dataset from the UCI repository represents hourly averaged measurements of 5 metal oxide chemical sensors embedded in an air quality chemical multisensor device. The certified analyzer was located on the field in a significantly polluted area, at road level, within an Italian city. Data were recorded from March 2004 to February 2005 (one year), representing the longest freely available recordings of on-field deployed air quality chemical sensor device responses (De Vitoet et al., 2008).

 

Task: The dataset can be used to study causal discovery methods.

US Census (1990)

The data represents a one percent sample drawn from the full 1990 census. This was made possible through the Public Use Microdata Samples (PUMS). Furthermore, the few continuous variables were discretized. (UCI Source)

 

Task: The dataset can be used to study causal discovery methods.
