Chinese Outward Foreign Direct Investment Data

Hi!

Since my first post here was a request if someone knew how to access Chinese OFDI Data sorted by country which some researchers frequently seem to use, I can now finally share where exactly the data comes from and hope that I thereby maybe save another poor soul from spending hours to find it.

Unsurprisingly, you have to search in Chinese to find the data:

XX 年度中国对外直接投资统计公报 (XX for the year you are searching)

sample: http://images.mofcom.gov.cn/hzs/201810/20181029160118046.pdf

Hope this helps and have fun!

How Would You Go About Populating Your Own Data Set Similar To Yelp And Google Maps?

I’m trying to build an app for travel. I’ve looked at the APIs and they’re very expensive and don’t allow for long-term caching. OSM is interesting but also requires you to abide by ODbL, which isn’t great if you don’t want to share proprietary info. Are there any approaches or alternatives to using an API or OSM? I haven’t been able to find any great data sets to bulk purchase.

Subnational COVID-19 Vaccination Data (Europe)

Hello, I am looking to assemble a subnational data set on COVID-19 vaccinations in Europe (preferrably at the level of NUTS-2 or NUTS-3 regions; mixed would also be okay). I have seen some maps for individual countries, so the data seems to be somewhere out there – at least for some. Does anyone know of any resources in that direction?

I’d like to focus on the EU27, but other European Countries are also fine. I appreciate any help, be it aggregate data sets or data for individual countries. Thanks!

NCAA Men’s Basketball March Madness Historical Results

I’m looking for some historical results in order to do some analysis and submit my bracket. Essentially, I’m looking for something like this, but more up to date:

https://blog.softartisans.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/NCAATournamentBracket.xlsx (like the first “data” tab. just the seeds, team names, round and score is good enough, but more is better)

Does anyone have anything like this? Thanks!

Questions Regarding The ADNI Dataset

Hey so I am working on a project related to Alzheimers detection and intend to publish a paper. I have used a dataset that I found on Kaggle having MRIs. The author of the dataset has said that he has taken the images from ADNI and some other sources. Now can I use that data on my paper and if yes how do i cite it?

Also, I got permission to access the ADNI dataset yesterday and I downloaded the MRIs. But there are no labels on the images like if they are demented or not. If anyone could help me with it then that would be really helpful as I need to prepare the project asap. Thanks

Similarity Semantic Search Sentences Or Paragraphs

Hi! I am doing experiments in semantic similarity search. Given a sentence, I need to find the most similar sentence to the given sentence in a data set that consists of sentences or paragraphs, using semantic search. Which means I need to have sentences, that I know are similar. How would I go about finding similar sentences and comprising the data set?

Moving Mean Of A Moving Mean. Is This Ok ?

Hello, I have a data set I am plotting which is very noisy. After applying a moving average using the nearest 1000 or even up to 10000 neighbors, it is still not good enough to give a reasonable plot.

But after applying a moving average to the initial moving average, the plot looks pretty good and a trend is clear.

Is this ever ok? Is there a name for this ? I see online that there is something called a “double moving average” , but this is mostly posted on stock-trading sites.

My data set is 200,000 values measured at 2000hz

Where Can I Find A Numeric-only Data Set?

Hi, I have an assignment that requires me to perform multiple linear regression on a data set with numeric entires only. I’ve been searching for hours but I couldn’t find it on anywhere. I’m very new to data analysis, maybe that’s why I couldn’t find any. Can you help me please? I’d be happy to hear some recommendations!

Educational Data – Philadelphia Vs Los Angeles – Project For A Charity – Thanks!

Hi All, I am doing some pro bono work for a really great educational foundation here in Philadelphia. This is pretty basic, but I am trying to accomplish the following:

-compare educational statistics (attendance, test scores, achievement, etc) across individual elementary and high schools in Philadelphia and Los Angeles.

-for instance, a specific Philadelphia elementary school vs a specific California elementary school.

-there is a lot of data out there but I am finding it tough to compare apples to apples in terms of test scores etc given different state testing standards.

Is anyone aware of good datasets or websites out there to accomplish this?

Thanks!

Monthly Snowfall For Last 3 Years In Canada

I am working on a project that is comparing response times for service requests between departments. I want to be sure that the differences I notice in process has nothing to do with the added pressures of heavy snowfall.

I cannot find any snowfall data for the last 3 years. I checked on the government of Canada’s website, but the monthly data anyone can access in CSV format have headings that don’t make sense.

Precipitation is not the same as snowfall.

At minimum, I am looking for snowfall per month. (Not per year, because the snow season is September-April and our services are February-April)

Please help me! Is there a website anyone knows of that I can freely search for snowfall per month?
