Commercial paper, in the global financial market, is an unsecured promissory note with a fixed maturity of not more than 270 days.

Commercial paper is a money-market security issued (sold) by large corporations to obtain funds to meet short-term debt obligations (for example, payroll), and is backed only by an issuing bank or company promise to pay the face amount on the maturity date specified on the note. Since it is not backed by collateral, only firms with excellent credit ratings from a recognized credit rating agency will be able to sell their commercial paper at a reasonable price. Commercial paper is usually sold at a discount from face value, and generally carries lower interest repayment rates than bonds due to the shorter maturities of commercial paper. Typically, the longer the maturity on a note, the higher the interest rate the issuing institution pays. Interest rates fluctuate with market conditions, but are typically lower than banks' rates.

Commercial paper – though a short-term obligation – is issued as part of a continuous rolling program, which is either a number of years long (as in Europe), or open-ended (as in the U.S.)

This is the original XAI Drilling dataset optimized for XAI purposes and it can be used to evaluate explanations of such algortihms. The dataset comprises 20,000 data points, i.e., drilling operations, stored as rows, 10 features, one binary main failure label, and 4 binary subgroup failure modes, stored in columns. The main failure rate is about 5.0 % for the whole dataset. The features that constitute this dataset are as follows:

• ID: Every data point in the dataset is uniquely identifiable, thanks to the ID feature. This ensures traceability and easy referencing, especially when analyzing specific drilling scenarios or anomalies.
• Cutting speed vc (m/min): The cutting speed is a pivotal parameter in drilling, influencing the efficiency and quality of the drilling process. It represents the speed at which the drill bit's cutting edge moves through the material.
• Spindle speed n (1/min): This feature captures the rotational speed of the spindle or drill bit, respectively.
• Feed f (mm/rev): Feed denotes the depth the drill bit penetrates into the material with each revolution. There is a balance between speed and precision, with higher feeds leading to faster drilling but potentially compromising hole quality.
• Feed rate vf (mm/min): The feed rate is a measure of how quickly the material is fed to the drill bit. It is a determinant of the overall drilling time and influences the heat generated during the process.
• Power Pc (kW): The power consumption during drilling can be indicative of the efficiency of the process and the wear state of the drill bit.
• Cooling (%): Effective cooling is paramount in drilling, preventing overheating and reducing wear. This ordinal feature captures the cooling level applied, with four distinct states representing no cooling (0%), partial cooling (25% and 50%), and high to full cooling (75% and 100%).
• Material: The type of material being drilled can significantly influence the drilling parameters and outcomes. This dataset encompasses three primary materials: C45K hot-rolled heat-treatable steel (EN 1.0503), cast iron GJL (EN GJL-250), and aluminum-silicon (AlSi) alloy (EN AC-42000), each presenting its unique challenges and considerations. The three materials are represented as “P (Steel)” for C45K, “K (Cast Iron)” for cast iron GJL and “N (Non-ferrous metal)” for AlSi alloy.
• Drill Bit Type: Different materials often require specialized drill bits. This feature categorizes the type of drill bit used, ensuring compatibility with the material and optimizing the drilling process. It consists of three categories, which are based on the DIN 1836: “N” for C45K, “H” for cast iron and “W” for AlSi alloy [5].

• Process time t (s): This feature captures the full duration of each drilling operation, providing insights into efficiency and potential bottlenecks.

• Main failure: This binary feature indicates if any significant failure on the drill bit occurred during the drilling process. A value of 1 flags a drilling process that encountered issues, which in this case is true when any of the subgroup failure modes are 1, while 0 indicates a successful drilling operation without any major failures.

Subgroup failures: - Build-up edge failure (215x): Represented as a binary feature, a build-up edge failure indicates the occurrence of material accumulation on the cutting edge of the drill bit due to a combination of low cutting speeds and insufficient cooling. A value of 1 signifies the presence of this failure mode, while 0 denotes its absence. - Compression chips failure (344x): This binary feature captures the formation of compressed chips during drilling, resulting from the factors high feed rate, inadequate cooling and using an incompatible drill bit. A value of 1 indicates the occurrence of at least two of the three factors above, while 0 suggests a smooth drilling operation without compression chips. - Flank wear failure (278x): A binary feature representing the wear of the drill bit's flank due to a combination of high feed rates and low cutting speeds. A value of 1 indicates significant flank wear, affecting the drilling operation's accuracy and efficiency, while 0 denotes a wear-free operation. - Wrong drill bit failure (300x): As a binary feature, it indicates the use of an inappropriate drill bit for the material being drilled. A value of 1 signifies a mismatch, leading to potential drilling issues, while 0 indicates the correct drill bit usage.

County Cancer Death Rates

County-level cancer death rates with related variables

By Noah Rippner [source]

About this dataset

This dataset provides comprehensive information on county-level cancer death and incidence rates, as well as various related variables. It includes data on age-adjusted death rates, average deaths per year, recent trends in cancer death rates, recent 5-year trends in death rates, and average annual counts of cancer deaths or incidence. The dataset also includes the federal information processing standards (FIPS) codes for each county.

Additionally, the dataset indicates whether each county met the objective of a targeted death rate of 45.5. The recent trend in cancer deaths or incidence is also captured for analysis purposes.

The purpose of the death.csv file within this dataset is to offer detailed information specifically concerning county-level cancer death rates and related variables. On the other hand, the incd.csv file contains data on county-level cancer incidence rates and additional relevant variables.

To provide more context and understanding about the included data points, there is a separate file named cancer_data_notes.csv. This file serves to provide informative notes and explanations regarding the various aspects of the cancer data used in this dataset.

Please note that this particular description provides an overview for a linear regression walkthrough using this dataset based on Python programming language. It highlights how to source and import the data properly before moving into data preparation steps such as exploratory analysis. The walkthrough further covers model selection and important model diagnostics measures.

It's essential to bear in mind that this example serves as an initial attempt at creating a multivariate Ordinary Least Squares regression model using these datasets from various sources like cancer.gov along with US Census American Community Survey data. This baseline model allows easy comparisons with future iterations intended for improvements or refinements.

Important columns found within this extensively documented Kaggle dataset include County names along with their corresponding FIPS codes—a standardized coding system by Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS). Moreover,Met Objective of 45.5? (1) column denotes whether a specific county achieved the targeted objective of a death rate of 45.5 or not.

Overall, this dataset aims to offer valuable insights into county-level cancer death and incidence rates across various regions, providing policymakers, researchers, and healthcare professionals with essential information for analysis and decision-making purposes
