Responses to Streaming Video Survey
This data set was collected via a StatCrunch survey. Respondents were asked how many hours of video they watch each day, the percentage of their video consumption that happens via streaming (Netflix, Hulu, etc.), their age and gender.

Low Birth Weight Study
SOURCE: Hosmer and Lemeshow (2000) Applied Logistic Regression: Second Edition
Data were collected at Baystate
Medical Center, Springfield, Massachusetts during 1986.
DESCRIPTIVE ABSTRACT:
The goal of this study was to identify risk factors associated with
giving birth to a low birth weight baby (weighing less than 2500 grams).
Data were collected on 189 women, 59 of which had low birth weight babies and 130 of which had normal birth weight babies. Four variables which were thought to be of importance were age, weight of the subject at her last menstrual period, race, and the number of physician visits during the first trimester of pregnancy.
LIST OF VARIABLES:
Columns Variable Abbreviation
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
2-4 Identification Code ID
10 Low Birth Weight (0 = Birth Weight >= 2500g, LOW
1 = Birth Weight < 2500g)
17-18 Age of the Mother in Years AGE
23-25 Weight in Pounds at the Last Menstrual Period LWT
32 Race (1 = White, 2 = Black, 3 = Other) RACE
40 Smoking Status During Pregnancy (1 = Yes, 0 = No) SMOKE
48 History of Premature Labor (0 = None 1 = One, etc.) PTL
55 History of Hypertension (1 = Yes, 0 = No) HT
61 Presence of Uterine Irritability (1 = Yes, 0 = No) UI
67 Number of Physician Visits During the First Trimester FTV
(0 = None, 1 = One, 2 = Two, etc.)
73-76 Birth Weight in Grams BWT
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
PEDAGOGICAL NOTES:
These data have been used as an example of fitting a multiple
logistic regression model.
STORY BEHIND THE DATA:
Low birth weight is an outcome that has been of concern to physicians
for years. This is due to the fact that infant mortality rates and birth
defect rates are very high for low birth weight babies. A woman's behavior
during pregnancy (including diet, smoking habits, and receiving prenatal care)
can greatly alter the chances of carrying the baby to term and, consequently,
of delivering a baby of normal birth weight.
The variables identified in the code sheet given in the table have been
shown to be associated with low birth weight in the obstetrical literature. The
goal of the current study was to ascertain if these variables were important
in the population being served by the medical center where the data were
collected.

Shooting Homocides International Comparison
After shooting in Aurora, CO theater that killed numerous people and injured many more, I have seen several lists showing statistics related to guns and shooting deaths. This data is a bit stale, but represents a much larger set of countries for comparison. Also rather than presenting the number of shooting deaths (which can be misleading) it works with shooting deaths per 100,000 people per year. I have inserted data from the Facebook meme that I saw about this.
I don't claim that this data is correct, but it seems more complete and cites sources.
I apologize in advance if you feel the timing is inappropriate. Honestly, I can't think of a more appropriate time to have documented information about this topic since it seems a national dialogue might ensue. But it isn't my intention to cause additional grief to anyone. | yes | sbroad@saintmarys.edu | Jul 21, 2012 | 3KB | 204 |
