Anscombe's Quartet
Anscombe's quartet is a set of 4
datasets which all have nearly identical simple statistical properties but vary considerably when graphed. Anscombe created the datasets to demonstrate why graphical data exploration should precede statistical data analysis and to show the effect of outliers on statistical properties.
Installation
npm install @stdlib/datasets-anscombes-quartet
Usage
var data = require( '@stdlib/datasets-anscombes-quartet' );
