In ekstroem/dataMaid: A Suite of Checks for Identification of Potential Errors in a Data Frame as Part of the Data Screening Process

Description

A dataset with information about the first 45 US presidents as well as a 46th person, who is not a US president, and a duplicate of one of the 45 actual presidents. The dataset was constructed to show the capabilities of dataMaid and therefore, it has been constructed to include errors and miscodings. Each observation in the dataset corresponds to a person. The dataset uses the non-standard class Name which is simply an attribute that has been added to two variables in order to show how dataMaid handles non-supported classes. Note that the dataset is an extended and more error-filled version of the dataset presidentData which is also included in the package.
