Details

There are a number of related versions of the Titanic data, in various formats. This version was derived from ptitanic in the rpart.plot package, modifying it to remove the ⁠Class 'labelled'⁠ attributes for some variables (inherited from Frank Harrell's titanic3 version) which caused problems with some applications, notably ggplot2.

Other versions:

Titanic is the 4-way frequency table of all 2201 people aboard the Titanic, including passengers and crew.

Source

The original R source for this dataset was compiled by Frank Harrell and Robert Dawson: https://hbiostat.org/data/repo/titanic.txt, described in more detail in https://hbiostat.org/data/repo/titanic

For this version of the Titanic data, passenger details were deleted, survived was cast as a factor, and the name changed to Titanicp to minimize confusion with other versions.

Examples

data(Titanicp)
