Data Sets


The following links will bring up the data for an example, an exercise, or some other data set. The variable names are given in the first row. Most software will accept variable names, though you often have to specify that they are there.  Data are in standard ASCII files that can be imported by most statistical software packages. They are also in SPSS sav files, which can open directly into SPSS. The variables are tab or space delineated. SPSS has changed the way that it handles missing data and "white spaces." I have tried to use "999" for all missing observation, instead of the "." that used to work. I have also tried to put only a single tab between columns, but if data end up in the wrong column, I probably stuck in an extra space. If so, please let me know at David.Howell@uvm.edu.

If you would like to download all of the data files to your computer, you can download the zipped file DataFiles.zip. There are a few files here that you do not need, but they take up so little room that it doesn't matter.
