Abstract: Abstract Small, tidy data sets are used to illustrate concepts and techniques in typical textbook treatments of statistics and econometrics. They always have just a few rows or records and a few columns called variables or features. The data are neat, clean, and available, meaning you are never told about the complexities involved in finding the data let alone importing them into a statistical or programming package. In addition, there is only one dataset. The use of several that may have to be merged or joined is not discussed. Consequently, learners must determine from other sources how to handle “messy” and large amounts of data. These are, in fact, typical operations in Business Data Analytics. They require preprocessing before any analysis can begin.
