This dataset was curated for [TabArena](https://tabarena.ai/) by the TabArena team as part of the [TabArena Tabular ML IID Study](https://tabarena.ai/data-tabular-ml-iid-study). For more details on the study, see our [paper](https://tabarena.ai/paper-tabular-ml-iid-study). **Dataset Focus**: This dataset shall be used for evaluating predictive machine learning models for independent and identically distributed tabular data. The intended task is regression. --- #### Dataset Metadata - **Licence:** Public - **Original Data Source:** https://lib.stat.cmu.edu/datasets/ - **Reference (please cite)**: Pace, R. Kelley, and Ronald Barry. 'Sparse spatial autoregressions.' Statistics & Probability Letters 33.3 (1997): 291-297. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0167-7152(96)00140-X - **Dataset Year:** 1990 - **Dataset Description:** see the reference and the original data source for details. #### Curation comments by the TabArena team (for code see the [page of the study](https://tabarena.ai/data-tabular-ml-iid-study)): - We kept the latitude and longitude features as they are. - We log scaled the target variable (with base e) as intended by the original task. - Anomaly: As always, we randomly shuffle the data before uploading. If one does not randomly shuffle the data, there would be a distribution shift from the longitude and latitude based on the original order of data samples.
