Students use U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) real-time, real-world seismic data from around the planet to identify where earthquakes occur and look for trends in earthquake activity. They explore where and why earthquakes occur, learning about faults and how they influence earthquakes. Looking at the interactive maps and the data, students use Microsoft Excel to conduct detailed analysis of the most-recent 25 earthquakes; they calculate mean, median, mode of the data set, as well as identify the minimum and maximum magnitudes. Students compare their predictions with the physical data, and look for trends to and patterns in the data. A worksheet serves as a student guide for the activity.

A collection of 4 brain maps. Each brain map is a 3D array of values representing properties of the brain at different locations.

Collection description

In this fMRI study, we examined whether the DMN’s response to task switches depends on the complexity of the active set of tasks, manipulated by the number of tasks in a run, or abstract task groupings based on instructional order. This collection contains wholebrain activation maps for the task switch conditions contrasted against task repeat conditions.

This dataset contains the simulation data of the combinatorial metamaterial as used for the paper 'Machine Learning of Combinatorial Rules in Mechanical Metamaterials', as published in XXX.

In this paper, the data is used to classify each \(k \times k\) unit cell design into one of two classes (C or I) based on the scaling (linear or constant) of the number of zero modes \(M_k(n)\) for metamaterials consisting of an \(n\times n\) tiling of the corresponding unit cell. Additionally, a random walk through the design space starting from class C unit cells was performed to characterize the boundary between class C and I in design space. A more detailed description of the contents of the dataset follows below.

Modescaling_raw_data.zip

This file contains uniformly sampled unit cell designs and \(M_k(n)\) for \(1\leq n\leq 4\), which was used to classify the unit cell designs for the data set. There is a small subset of designs for \(k=\{3, 4, 5\}\) that do not neatly fall into the class C and I classification, and instead require additional simulation for \(4 \leq n \leq 6\) before either saturating to a constant number of zero modes (class I) or linearly increasing (class C). This file contains the simulation data of size \(3 \leq k \leq 8\) unit cells. The data is organized as follows.

Simulation data for \(3 \leq k \leq 5\) and \(1 \leq n \leq 4\) is stored in numpy array format (.npy) and can be readily loaded in Python with the Numpy package using the numpy.load command. These files are named "data_new_rrQR_i_n_M_kxk_fixn4.npy", and contain a [Nsim, 1+k*k+4] sized array, where Nsim is the number of simulated unit cells. Each row corresponds to a unit cell. The columns are organized as follows:

• col 0: label number to keep track
• col 1 - k*k+1: flattened unit cell design, numpy.reshape should bring it back to its original \(k \times k\) form.
• col k*k+1 - k*k+5: number of zero modes \(M_k(n)\) in ascending order of \(n\), so: \(\{M_k(1), M_k(2), M_k(3), M_k(4)\}\).

Note: the unit cell design uses the numbers \(\{0, 1, 2, 3\}\) to refer to each building block orientation. The building block orientations can be characterized through the orientation of the missing diagonal bar (see Fig. 2 in the paper), which can be Left Up (LU), Left Down (LD), Right Up (RU), or Right Down (RD). The numbers correspond to the building block orientation \(\{0, 1, 2, 3\} = \{\mathrm{LU, RU, RD, LD}\}\).

Simulation data for \(3 \leq k \leq 5\) and \(1 \leq n \leq 6\) for unit cells that cannot be classified as class C or I for \(1 \leq n \leq 4\) is stored in numpy array format (.npy) and can be readily loaded in Python with the Numpy package using the numpy.load command. These files are named "data_new_rrQR_i_n_M_kxk_fixn4_classX_extend.npy", and contain a [Nsim, 1+k*k+6] sized array, where Nsim is the number of simulated unit cells. Each row corresponds to a unit cell. The columns are organized as follows:

• col 0: label number to keep track
• col 1 - k*k+1: flattened unit cell design, numpy.reshape should bring it back to its original \(k \times k\) form.
• col k*k+1 - k*k+5: number of zero modes \(M_k(n)\) in ascending order of \(n\), so: \(\{M_k(1), M_k(2), M_k(3), M_k(4), M_k(5), M_k(6)\}\).

Simulation data for \(6 \leq k \leq 8\) unit cells are stored in numpy array format (.npy) and can be readily loaded in Python with the Numpy package using the numpy.load command. Note that the number of modes is now calculated for \(n_x \times n_y\) metamaterials, where we calculate \((n_x, n_y) = \{(1,1), (2, 2), (3, 2), (4,2), (2, 3), (2, 4)\}\) rather than \(n_x=n_y=n\) to save computation time. These files are named "data_new_rrQR_i_n_Mx_My_n4_kxk(_extended).npy", and contain a [Nsim, 1+k*k+8] sized array, where Nsim is the number of simulated unit cells. Each row corresponds to a unit cell. The columns are organized as follows:

• col 0: label number to keep track
• col 1 - k*k+1: flattened unit cell design, numpy.reshape should bring it back to its original \(k \times k\) form.
• col k*k+1 - k*k+9: number of zero modes \(M_k(n_x, n_y)\) in order: \(\{M_k(1, 1), M_k(2, 2), M_k(3, 2), M_k(4, 2), M_k(1, 1), M_k(2, 2), M_k(2, 3), M_k(2, 4)\}\).

Modescaling_classification_results.zip

This file contains the classification, slope, and offset of the scaling of the number of zero modes \(M_k(n)\) for the unit cells in Modescaling_raw_data.zip. The data is organized as follows.

The results for \(3 \leq k \leq 5\) based on the \(1 \leq n \leq 4\) mode scaling data is stored in "results_analysis_new_rrQR_i_Scen_slope_offset_M1k_kxk_fixn4.txt". The data can be loaded using ',' as delimiter. Every row corresponds to a unit cell design (see the label number to compare to the earlier data). The columns are organized as follows:

col 0: label number to keep track

col 1: the class, where 0 corresponds to class I, 1 to class C and 2 to class X (neither class I or C for \(1 \leq n \leq 4\))

col 2: slope from \(n \geq 2\) onward (undefined for class X)

col 3: the offset is defined as \(M_k(2) - 2 \cdot \mathrm{slope}\)

Random Walks Data

This file contains the random walks for \(3 \leq k \leq 8\) unit cells. The random walk starts from a class C unit cell design, for each step \(s\) a randomly picked unit cell is changed to a random new orientation for a total of \(s=k^2\) steps. The data is organized as follows.

The configurations for each step are stored in the files named "configlist_test_i.npy", where i is a number and corresponds to a different starting unit cell. The stored array has the shape [k*k+1, 2*k+2, 2*k+2]. The first dimension denotes the step \(s\), where \(s=0\) is the initial configuration. The second and third dimension denote the unit cell configuration in the pixel representation (see paper) padded with a single pixel wide layer using periodic boundary conditions.

The class for each configuration are stored in "lmlist_test_i.npy", where i corresponds to the same number as for the configurations in the "configlist_test_i.npy" file. The stored array has

UNIT DESCRIPTIONS: - Dwellings: Every separate and independent structure that has been constructed or converted for use as temporary or permanent housing. This includes any class of fixed or mobile shelter used as a place of lodging at the time of enumeration. A dwelling can be a) a private house, apartment, floor in a house, room or group of rooms, ranch, etc. designed to give lodging to one person or a group of people or b) a boat, vehicle, railroad car, barn, shed, or any other type of shelter occupied as a place of lodging at the time of enumeration. - Households: All the occupying members of a family or private dwelling that live together as family. In most cases, a household is made up of a head of the family, relatives of this person (wife or partner, children, grand-children, nieces and nephews, etc.), close friends, guests, lodgers, domestic employees and all other occupants. Households with five or fewer lodgers are considered private,but households with six or more lodgers are considered a non-family group. - Group quarters: Accommodation for a group of people who are not usually connected by kinship ties who live together for reasons of discipline, healthcare, education, mlitary activity, religion, work or other dwellings such as reform schools, boarding schools, barracks, hopsitals, guest houses, nursing homes, workers camps, etc.

According to a questionnaire on the status of the data collection of the transport industry in the Arab region, Tunisia scored 14 points in the data collection of the number of passengers of air transport arrivals in the country between 2005 and 2018, which was the highest among the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. The road network length in Egypt was the highest in the MENA region at about 188 thousand kilometers in 2018.

Abstract

The dataset is a relational dataset of 8,000 households households, representing a sample of the population of an imaginary middle-income country. The dataset contains two data files: one with variables at the household level, the other one with variables at the individual level. It includes variables that are typically collected in population censuses (demography, education, occupation, dwelling characteristics, fertility, mortality, and migration) and in household surveys (household expenditure, anthropometric data for children, assets ownership). The data only includes ordinary households (no community households). The dataset was created using REaLTabFormer, a model that leverages deep learning methods. The dataset was created for the purpose of training and simulation and is not intended to be representative of any specific country.

The full-population dataset (with about 10 million individuals) is also distributed as open data.

Sampling procedure

The sample size was set to 8,000 households. The fixed number of households to be selected from each enumeration area was set to 25. In a first stage, the number of enumeration areas to be selected in each stratum was calculated, proportional to the size of each stratum (stratification by geo_1 and urban/rural). Then 25 households were randomly selected within each enumeration area. The R script used to draw the sample is provided as an external resource.

Research instrument

The dataset is a synthetic dataset. Although the variables it contains are variables typically collected from sample surveys or population censuses, no questionnaire is available for this dataset. A "fake" questionnaire was however created for the sample dataset extracted from this dataset, to be used as training material.

Cleaning operations

The synthetic data generation process included a set of "validators" (consistency checks, based on which synthetic observation were assessed and rejected/replaced when needed). Also, some post-processing was applied to the data to result in the distributed data files.

Response rate

This is a synthetic dataset; the "response rate" is 100%.

It is sometimes said that reliability field data is the “real reliability data” because they reflect actual reliability performance of a product or system. Reliability field data areobtained, most commonly, from warranty returns (combined with production/sales records to provide information on units that were not returned) and maintenance databases. For some products (e.g., medical devices), careful field tracking is done, providing detailed information about all units deployed into the field. Reliability field data are almost always multiply censored because many units had not failedat the time the data were analyzed. In addition to failure times, sometimes failure mode information is also available for units that have failed. Other complications like truncation also arise in some field reliability data sets.

The set of local modes and density ridge lines are important summary characteristics of the data-generating distribution. In this work, we focus on estimating local modes and density ridges from point cloud data in a product space combining two or more Euclidean and/or directional metric spaces. Specifically, our approach extends the (subspace constrained) mean shift algorithm to such product spaces, addressing potential challenges in the generalization process. We establish the algorithmic convergence of the proposed methods, along with practical implementation guidelines. Experiments on simulated and real-world datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed methods. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.

Abstract

The 2000 Republic of Palau Census of Population and Housing was the second census collected and processed entirely by the republic itself. This monograph provides analyses of data from the most recent census of Palau for decision makers in the United States and Palau to understand current socioeconomic conditions. The 2005 Census of Population and Housing collected a wide range of information on the characteristics of the population including demographics, educational attainments, employment status, fertility, housing characteristics, housing characteristics and many others.

The 1990, 1995 and 2000 censuses were all modified de jure censuses, counting people and recording selected characteristics of each individual according to his or her usual place of residence as of census day. Data were collected for each enumeration district - the households and population in each enumerator assignment - and these enumeration districts were then collected into hamlets in Koror, and the 16 States of Palau.

Mode of data collection

Face-to-face [f2f]

Research instrument

The 2000 censuses of Palau employed a modified list-enumerate procedure, also known as door-to-door enumeration. Beginning in mid-April 2000, enumerators began visiting each housing unit and conducted personal interviews, recording the information collected on the single questionnaire that contained all census questions. Follow-up enumerators visited all addresses for which questionnaires were missing to obtain the information required for the census.

Cleaning operations

The completed questionnaires were checked for completeness and consistency of responses, and then brought to OPS for processing. After checking in the questionnaires, OPS staff coded write-in responses (e.g., ethnicity or race, relationship, language). Then data entry clerks keyed all the questionnaire responses. The OPS brought the keyed data to the U.S. Census Bureau headquarters near Washington, DC, where OPS and Bureau staff edited the data using the Consistency and Correction (CONCOR) software package prior to generating tabulations using the Census Tabulation System (CENTS) package. Both packages were developed at the Census Bureau's International Programs Center (IPC) as part of the Integrated Microcomputer Processing System (IMPS).

The goal of census data processing is to produce a set of data that described the population as clearly and accurately as possible. To meet this objective, crew leaders reviewed and edited questionnaires during field data collection to ensure consistency, completeness, and acceptability. Census clerks also reviewed questionnaires for omissions, certain inconsistencies, and population coverage. Census personnel conducted a telephone or personal visit follow-up to obtain missing information. The follow-ups considered potential coverage errors as well as questionnaires with omissions or inconsistencies beyond the completeness and quality tolerances specified in the review procedures.

Following field operations, census staff assigned remaining incomplete information and corrected inconsistent information on the questionnaires using imputation procedures during the final automated edit of the data. The use of allocations, or computer assignments of acceptable data, occurred most often when an entry for a given item was lacking or when the information reported for a person or housing unit on an item was inconsistent with other information for that same person or housing unit. In all of Palau’s censuses, the general procedure for changing unacceptable entries was to assign an entry for a person or housing unit that was consistent with entries for persons or housing units with similar characteristics. The assignment of acceptable data in place of blanks or unacceptable entries enhanced the usefulness of the data.

Sampling error estimates

Human and machine-related errors occur in any large-scale statistical operation. Researchers generally refer to these problems as non-sampling errors. These errors include the failure to enumerate every household or every person in a population, failure to obtain all required information from residents, collection of incorrect or inconsistent information, and incorrect recording of information. In addition, errors can occur during the field review of the enumerators' work, during clerical handling of the census questionnaires, or during the electronic processing of the questionnaires. To reduce various types of non-sampling errors, Census office personnel used several techniques during planning, data collection, and data processing activities. Quality assurance methods were used throughout the data collection and processing phases of the census to improve the quality of the data.

Census staff implemented several coverage improvement programs during the development of census enumeration and processing strategies to minimize under-coverage of the population and housing units. A quality assurance program improved coverage in each census. Telephone and personal visit follow-ups also helped improve coverage. Computer and clerical edits emphasized improving the quality and consistency of the data. Local officials participated in post-census local reviews. Census enumerators conducted additional re-canvassing where appropriate.

This data set includes tower-based Ka-band ocean surface backscatter measurements (cross section, incidence angle, radial velocity from radar, pulse-pair correlation) located offshore of Martha’s Vineyard (41°19.5′N, 70°34′W), Massachusetts (USA) over a period of three months, from October 2019 to January 2020. Data from the Ka-band radar are collected at multiple distances from the tower (up to ~32 m) at several incidence angles and at sub-second resolution. The measurements are provided as hourly files in netCDF format.

Ka-band backscatter data are often utilized to derived ocean surface vector winds. The instrument used for this dataset was a Ka-Band Ocean continuous wave Doppler Scatterometer (KaBODS) built by the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, which was installed on the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Air-Sea Interaction Tower (ASIT). The tower is located in 15 m deep water and extends 76 feet into the marine atmosphere. Data were collected as part of a pre-pilot campaign for the S-MODE (Submesoscale Ocean Dynamics Experiment) project. The measurements provided the opportunity to develop Ka-band backscatter models as well as study backscattering mechanisms under different wind, wave, and weather conditions in order to support operation of the airborne Ka-band Doppler scatterometer used during the main S-MODE intensive observation periods.
