These are simulated data without any identifying information or informative birth-level covariates. We also standardize the pollution exposures on each week by subtracting off the median exposure amount on a given week and dividing by the interquartile range (IQR) (as in the actual application to the true NC birth records data). The dataset that we provide includes weekly average pregnancy exposures that have already been standardized in this way while the medians and IQRs are not given. This further protects identifiability of the spatial locations used in the analysis.

Format: Below is the replication procedure for the attached data set for the portion of the analyses using a simulated data set: Data The data used in the application section of the manuscript consist of geocoded birth records from the North Carolina State Center for Health Statistics, 2005-2008. In the simulation study section of the manuscript, we simulate synthetic data that closely match some of the key features of the birth certificate data while maintaining confidentiality of any actual pregnant women. Availability Due to the highly sensitive and identifying information contained in the birth certificate data (including latitude/longitude and address of residence at delivery), we are unable to make the data from the application section publically available. However, we will make one of the simulated datasets available for any reader interested in applying the method to realistic simulated birth records data. This will also allow the user to become familiar with the required inputs of the model, how the data should be structured, and what type of output is obtained. While we cannot provide the application data here, access to the North Carolina birth records can be requested through the North Carolina State Center for Health Statistics, and requires an appropriate data use agreement.

Detailed description of the dataset:

1 Film Dataset: Festival Programs

The Film Dataset consists a data scheme image file, a codebook and two dataset tables in csv format.

The codebook (csv file “1_codebook_film-dataset_festival-program”) offers a detailed description of all variables within the Film Dataset. Along with the definition of variables it lists explanations for the units of measurement, data sources, coding and information on missing data.

The csv file “1_film-dataset_festival-program_long” comprises a dataset of all films and the festivals, festival sections, and the year of the festival edition that they were sampled from. The dataset is structured in the long format, i.e. the same film can appear in several rows when it appeared in more than one sample festival. However, films are identifiable via their unique ID.

The csv file “1_film-dataset_festival-program_wide” consists of the dataset listing only unique films (n=9,348). The dataset is in the wide format, i.e. each row corresponds to a unique film, identifiable via its unique ID. For easy analysis, and since the overlap is only six percent, in this dataset the variable sample festival (fest) corresponds to the first sample festival where the film appeared. For instance, if a film was first shown at Berlinale (in February) and then at Frameline (in June of the same year), the sample festival will list “Berlinale”. This file includes information on unique and IMDb IDs, the film title, production year, length, categorization in length, production countries, regional attribution, director names, genre attribution, the festival, festival section and festival edition the film was sampled from, and information whether there is festival run information available through the IMDb data.

2 Survey Dataset

The Survey Dataset consists of a data scheme image file, a codebook and two dataset tables in csv format.

The codebook “2_codebook_survey-dataset” includes coding information for both survey datasets. It lists the definition of the variables or survey questions (corresponding to Samoilova/Loist 2019), units of measurement, data source, variable type, range and coding, and information on missing data.

The csv file “2_survey-dataset_long-festivals_shared-consent” consists of a subset (n=161) of the original survey dataset (n=454), where respondents provided festival run data for films (n=206) and gave consent to share their data for research purposes. This dataset consists of the festival data in a long format, so that each row corresponds to the festival appearance of a film.

The csv file “2_survey-dataset_wide-no-festivals_shared-consent” consists of a subset (n=372) of the original dataset (n=454) of survey responses corresponding to sample films. It includes data only for those films for which respondents provided consent to share their data for research purposes. This dataset is shown in wide format of the survey data, i.e. information for each response corresponding to a film is listed in one row. This includes data on film IDs, film title, survey questions regarding completeness and availability of provided information, information on number of festival screenings, screening fees, budgets, marketing costs, market screenings, and distribution. As the file name suggests, no data on festival screenings is included in the wide format dataset.

3 IMDb & Scripts

The IMDb dataset consists of a data scheme image file, one codebook and eight datasets, all in csv format. It also includes the R scripts that we used for scraping and matching.

The codebook “3_codebook_imdb-dataset” includes information for all IMDb datasets. This includes ID information and their data source, coding and value ranges, and information on missing data.

The csv file “3_imdb-dataset_aka-titles_long” contains film title data in different languages scraped from IMDb in a long format, i.e. each row corresponds to a title in a given language.

The csv file “3_imdb-dataset_awards_long” contains film award data in a long format, i.e. each row corresponds to an award of a given film.

The csv file “3_imdb-dataset_companies_long” contains data on production and distribution companies of films. The dataset is in a long format, so that each row corresponds to a particular company of a particular film.

The csv file “3_imdb-dataset_crew_long” contains data on names and roles of crew members in a long format, i.e. each row corresponds to each crew member. The file also contains binary gender assigned to directors based on their first names using the GenderizeR application.

The csv file “3_imdb-dataset_festival-runs_long” contains festival run data scraped from IMDb in a long format, i.e. each row corresponds to the festival appearance of a given film. The dataset does not include each film screening, but the first screening of a film at a festival within a given year. The data includes festival runs up to 2019.

The csv file “3_imdb-dataset_general-info_wide” contains general information about films such as genre as defined by IMDb, languages in which a film was shown, ratings, and budget. The dataset is in wide format, so that each row corresponds to a unique film.

The csv file “3_imdb-dataset_release-info_long” contains data about non-festival release (e.g., theatrical, digital, tv, dvd/blueray). The dataset is in a long format, so that each row corresponds to a particular release of a particular film.

The csv file “3_imdb-dataset_websites_long” contains data on available websites (official websites, miscellaneous, photos, video clips). The dataset is in a long format, so that each row corresponds to a website of a particular film.

The dataset includes 8 text files containing the script for webscraping. They were written using the R-3.6.3 version for Windows.

The R script “r_1_unite_data” demonstrates the structure of the dataset, that we use in the following steps to identify, scrape, and match the film data.

The R script “r_2_scrape_matches” reads in the dataset with the film characteristics described in the “r_1_unite_data” and uses various R packages to create a search URL for each film from the core dataset on the IMDb website. The script attempts to match each film from the core dataset to IMDb records by first conducting an advanced search based on the movie title and year, and then potentially using an alternative title and a basic search if no matches are found in the advanced search. The script scrapes the title, release year, directors, running time, genre, and IMDb film URL from the first page of the suggested records from the IMDb website. The script then defines a loop that matches (including matching scores) each film in the core dataset with suggested films on the IMDb search page. Matching was done using data on directors, production year (+/- one year), and title, a fuzzy matching approach with two methods: “cosine” and “osa.” where the cosine similarity is used to match titles with a high degree of similarity, and the OSA algorithm is used to match titles that may have typos or minor variations.

The script “r_3_matching” creates a dataset with the matches for a manual check. Each pair of films (original film from the core dataset and the suggested match from the IMDb website was categorized in the following five categories: a) 100% match: perfect match on title, year, and director; b) likely good match; c) maybe match; d) unlikely match; and e) no match). The script also checks for possible doubles in the dataset and identifies them for a manual check.

The script “r_4_scraping_functions” creates a function for scraping the data from the identified matches (based on the scripts described above and manually checked). These functions are used for scraping the data in the next script.

The script “r_5a_extracting_info_sample” uses the function defined in the “r_4_scraping_functions”, in order to scrape the IMDb data for the identified matches. This script does that for the first 100 films, to check, if everything works. Scraping for the entire dataset took a few hours. Therefore, a test with a subsample of 100 films is advisable.

The script “r_5b_extracting_info_all” extracts the data for the entire dataset of the identified matches.

The script “r_5c_extracting_info_skipped” checks the films with missing data (where data was not scraped) and tried to extract data one more time to make sure that the errors were not caused by disruptions in the internet connection or other technical issues.

The script “r_check_logs” is used for troubleshooting and tracking the progress of all of the R scripts used. It gives information on the amount of missing values and errors.

4 Festival Library Dataset

The Festival Library Dataset consists of a data scheme image file, one codebook and one dataset, all in csv format.

The codebook (csv file “4_codebook_festival-library_dataset”) offers a detailed description of all variables within the Library Dataset. It lists the definition of variables, such as location and festival name, and festival categories, units of measurement, data sources and coding and missing data.

The csv file “4_festival-library_dataset_imdb-and-survey” contains data on all unique festivals collected from both IMDb and survey sources. This dataset appears in wide format, all information for each festival is listed in one row. This

Happy Clustering! 🎉

This synthetic dataset was generated from Monte Carlo simulations of lightning flashovers on medium voltage (MV) distribution lines. It is suitable for training machine learning models for classifying lightning flashovers on distribution lines. The dataset is hierarchical in nature (see below for more information) and class imbalanced.

Following five different types of lightning interaction with the MV distribution line have been simulated: (1) direct strike to phase conductor (when there is no shield wire present on the line), (2) direct strike to phase conductor with shield wire(s) present on the line (i.e. shielding failure), (3) direct strike to shield wire with backflashover event, (4) indirect near-by lightning strike to ground where shield wire is not present, and (5) indirect near-by lightning strike to ground where shield wire is present on the line. Last two types of lightning interactions induce overvoltage on the phase conductors by radiating EM fields from the strike channel that are coupled to the line conductors. Three different methods of indirect strike analysis have been implemented, as follows: Rusck's model, Chowdhuri-Gross model and Liew-Mar model. Shield wire(s) provide shielding effects to direct, as well as screening effects to indirect, lightning strikes.

Dataset consists of two independent distribution lines, with heights of 12 m and 15 m, each with a flat configuration of phase conductors. Twin shield wires, if present, are 1.5 m above the phase conductors and 3 m apart [2]. CFO level of the 12 m distribution line is 150 kV and that of the 15 m distribution line is 160 kV. Dataset consists of 10,000 simulations for each of the distribution lines.

Dataset contains following variables (features):

'dist': perpendicular distance of the lightning strike location from the distribution line axis (m), generated from the Uniform distribution [0, 500] m,

'ampl': lightning current amplitude of the strike (kA), generated from the Log-Normal distribution (see IEC 60071 for additional information),

'front': lightning current wave-front time (us), generated from the Log-Normal distribution; it needs to be emphasized that amplitudes (ampl) and wave-front times (front), as random variables, have been generated from the appropriate bivariate probability distribution which includes statistical correlation between these variates,

'veloc': velocity of the lightning return-stroke current defined indirectly through the parameter "w" that is generated from the Uniform distribution [50, 500] m/us, which is then used for computing the velocity from the following relation: v = c/sqrt(1+w/I), where "c" is the speed of light in free space (300 m/us) and "I" is the lightning-current amplitude,

'shield': binary indicator that signals presence or absence of the shield wire(s) on the line (0/1), generated from the Bernoulli distribution with a 50% probability,

'Ri': average value of the impulse impedance of the tower's grounding (Ohm), generated from the Normal distribution (clipped at zero on the left side) with median value of 50 Ohm and standard deviation of 12.5 Ohm; it should be mentioned that the impulse impedance is often much larger than the associated grounding resistance value, which is why a rather high value of 50 Ohm have been used here,

'EGM': electrogeometric model used for analyzing striking distances of the distribution line's tower; following options are available: 'Wagner', 'Young', 'AW', 'BW', 'Love', and 'Anderson', where 'AW' stands for Armstrong & Whitehead, while 'BW' means Brown & Whitehead model; statistical distribution of EGM models follows a user-defined discrete categorical distribution with respective probabilities: p = [0.1, 0.2, 0.1, 0.1, 0.3, 0.2],

'ind': indirect stroke model used for analyzing near-by indirect lightning strikes; following options were implemented: 'rusk' for the Rusck's model, 'chow' for the Chowdhuri-Gross model (with Jakubowski modification) and 'liew' for the Liew-Mar model; statistical distribution of these three models follows a user-defined discrete categorical distribution with respective probabilities: p = [0.6, 0.2, 0.2],

'CFO': critical flashover voltage level of the distribution line's insulation (kV),

'height': height of the phase conductors of the distribution line (m),

'flash': binary indicator that signals if the flashover has been recorded (1) or not (0). This variable is the outcome/label (i.e. binary class).

Mathematical background used for the analysis of lightning interaction with the MV distribution line can be found in the references cited below.

In an age of accountability, it is critical to define and estimate the effects of teacher education and professional development programs on student learning in ways that allow stakeholders to explore potential reasons for what is observed and to enhance program quality and fidelity. Across the suite of statistical models used for program evaluation, researchers consistently measure program effectiveness using the coefficients of fixed program effects. We propose that program effects are best characterized not as a single effect to be estimated, but as a distribution of teacher-specific effects. In this article, we first discuss this approach and then describe one way it could be used to define and estimate program effects within a value-added modeling context. Using an example dataset, we demonstrate how program effect estimates can be obtained using the proposed methodology and explain how distributions of these estimates provide additional information and insights about programs that are not apparent when only looking at average effects. By examining distributions of teacher-specific effects as proposed, researchers have the opportunity to more deeply investigate and understand the effects of programs on student success.

About this dataset

This dataset contains a wealth of information that can be used to explore the effectiveness of various clustering algorithms. With its inclusion of numerical measurements (X, Y, Sepal.Length, and Petal.Length) and categorical values (Species), it is possible to investigate the relationship between different types of variables and clustering performance. Additionally, by comparing results for the 3 datasets provided - moon.csv (which contains x and y coordinates), iris.csv (which contains measurements for sepal and petal lengths),and circles.csv - we can gain insights into how different data distributions affect clustering techniques such as K-Means or Hierarchical Clustering among others!

How to use the dataset

This dataset can also be a great starting point to further explore more complex clusters by using higher dimensional space variables such as color or texture that may be present in other datasets not included here but which can help to form more accurate groups when using cluster-analysis algorithms. Additionally, it could also assist in visualization projects where clusters may need to be generated such as plotting mapped data points or examining relationships between two different variables within a certain region drawn on a chart.

To use this dataset effectively it is important to understand how exactly your chosen algorithm works since some require specifying parameters beforehand while others take care of those details automatically; otherwise the interpretation may be invalid depending on the methods used alongside clustering you intend for your project. Furthermore, familiarize yourself with concepts like silhouette score and rand index - these are commonly used metrics that measure your cluster’s performance against other clusterings models so you know if what you have done so far satisfies an acceptable level of accuracy or not yet! Good luck!

Financial Stability & VitalityNo Performance Measures in this category presently relate directly to the Community SurveyMethods:The survey is mailed to a random sample of households in the City of Tempe. Follow up emails and texts are also sent to encourage participation. A link to the survey is provided with each communication. To prevent people who do not live in Tempe or who were not selected as part of the random sample from completing the survey, everyone who completed the survey was required to provide their address. These addresses were then matched to those used for the random representative sample. If the respondent’s address did not match, the response was not used. To better understand how services are being delivered across the city, individual results were mapped to determine overall distribution across the city. Additionally, demographic data were used to monitor the distribution of responses to ensure the responding population of each survey is representative of city population. Processing and Limitations:The location data in this dataset is generalized to the block level to protect privacy. This means that only the first two digits of an address are used to map the location. When they data are shared with the city only the latitude/longitude of the block level address points are provided. This results in points that overlap. In order to better visualize the data, overlapping points were randomly dispersed to remove overlap. The result of these two adjustments ensure that they are not related to a specific address, but are still close enough to allow insights about service delivery in different areas of the city. The weighted data are used by the ETC Institute, in the final published PDF report.The 2023 Annual Community Survey report is available on data.tempe.gov or by visiting https://www.tempe.gov/government/strategic-management-and-innovation/signature-surveys-research-and-dataThe individual survey questions as well as the definition of the response scale (for example, 1 means “very dissatisfied” and 5 means “very satisfied”) are provided in the data dictionary.Additional InformationSource: Community Attitude SurveyContact (author): Adam SamuelsContact E-Mail (author): Adam_Samuels@tempe.govContact (maintainer): Contact E-Mail (maintainer): Data Source Type: Excel tablePreparation Method: Data received from vendor after report is completedPublish Frequency: AnnualPublish Method: ManualData Dictionary
