Details

Thomas Cason of UVa has greatly updated and improved the titanic data frame using the Encyclopedia Titanica and created a new dataset called titanic3. This dataset reflects the state of data available as of August 2, 1999. Some duplicate passengers have been dropped, many errors have been corrected, many missing ages have been filled in, and new variables have been created.
