Rock and Roll and Life Expectancy
Description
Ages at death in rock and roll.
Usage
data(rar.df)
Format
A data frame with the following variables.
- age
-
Numeric.
Age when the person died, in years.
A handful of values are approximate or missing.
- yod
-
Numeric.
The year that the person died.
Details
This type of data is very subjective because many
definitions cannot ever be finalized.
The Wiki website was written by an anonymous person
and the data collected informally and there is no
quality assurance.
Of course, it could be debated as whether a particular person
should be included.
And there will be many people who should be there but
are not.
Nevertheless, it can be considered a fun data set
that should be of interest to anybody liking
modern music or
the history of such in musicology.
In the source, some peoples' ages were listed as a
decade, e.g., age was 40s or 50--51.
These were either replaced by NA or the mean
of the endpoints was taken.
