| Aug 14, 2012 at 17:35 | comment | added | gung - Reinstate Monica | FWIW, I think this question is much more justified than the jokes thread. If one of them should go, it should be the jokes. (I think the cartoons & quotes are potentially more useful as pedagogical aids, and would thus rank w/ this thread.) | |
| Jan 24, 2012 at 15:40 | comment | added | whuber♦ | I have added a comment to the statistics jokes thread explaining why it exists and why it does not serve to justify threads like this one here. I find the present question far too ill-formed and vague to serve a useful role or garner consistently strong replies; I wish it would be modified or removed. However, I agree with the previous comment by @chl and therefore have not voted to close, because my vote as moderator would (unfortunately) be unilaterally binding and therefore not reflect community sentiment. | |

| Jan 22, 2012 at 10:49 | comment | added | steffen | (+1) chl's edit is dead on. This question can serve as an idea shop for presentations. Going even further, the best dataset in my opinion would be one, which could be used as a common theme for assignments in the course of a lecture. | |

| Jan 22, 2012 at 10:34 | comment | added | chl | I'm inclined to let the community decide on whether this has to be closed (as not constructive) or not, although I would add that thorough and argumentative replies might well serve as a support for future questions on particular aspects of data analysis. I'm converting this to CW in the meantime because, obviously, there's no single best answer. | |
| Jan 22, 2012 at 6:03 | comment | added | D.A. | I am aware it is designed as a Q&A, but with questions like "What is your favorite statistics cartoon?" being voted up highly, I figured this wouldn't be terribly inappropriate. Especially pedagogically, if someone is trying to learn about data analysis and exploratory techniques, it might be useful to get some feedback on public datasets which offer a rich structure and have a large amount of history and research behind them. | |
