Manuscript Error: Missing Datasets for Exercises 4M11, 4H13, 4H16

[shendin-chrobinson]

Description

The repo does not appear to contain the datasets for three Exercises in Chapter 04:

• Exercise 4M11 refers to a dataset of concrete comprehensive strengths which would contain columns for (at least) water and cement.
• Exercise 4H13 refers to a radon dataset which would include the presence of a basement. (While there is a publicly available Minnesota radon data set in the R package fabCI, I loaded it and did not see a column for presence/absence of a basement, so that dataset would not work for this exercise.)
• Exercise 4H16 refers to a data set gravity_measurements.csv

These datasets are not in the data/ directory nor in the exercises/data/ directory. I've searched elsewhere in the repo and cannot find them anywhere. Please add these to repo, as they look like very interesting exercises to try out. Thank you.

Thanks for raising an issue, helps prioritize all the various things that need to be done.

I'll be able to get to this in about a week!

Thanks @canyon289 that sounds great, I appreciate it.

@shendin-chrobinson concrete and radon dataset are added per this PR https://github.com/BayesianModelingandComputationInPython/BookCode_Edition1/pull/137/files

I'll get the gravity one uploaded soon as well, likely within in the next week!

Hope this helps, thank you for readership and I hope youre enjoying the text

[shendin-chrobinson]

Thank you @canyon289 for adding the concrete and radon sets, I look forward to trying them out. I am indeed enjoying this text, learning a lot in each chapter so far.

Along with the gravity set (in which I am especially interested), could you please check in Chapter 5, Exercise 5E8 refers to a spectra dataset which does not appear to be any of the datasets in either the data/ directory or the exercises/data/ directory. I'm curious to see what these data look like for splining.

@shendin-chrobinson Spectra dataset has been added. I still owe you the physics dataset. Thanks for keeping us honest

[canyon289]

@shendin-chrobinson my apologies on the delay for the physics dataset. I havent forgotten just have been overwhelmed with other tasks. I do hope this isn't too inconveniencing for you

[shendin-chrobinson]

For now I'm fine, I've continued on into Chapter 5 and beyond. At some point I may circle back to Chapter 4 at which point it still would be nice to have the physics dataset to try out.
