[AISWorld] FW: Professor, I've created an open and free data resource for academics like yourself.

[Jerry Flatto]

I am teaching a Business Intelligence class this semester and have looked at
the data sets and downloaded some of them from Quandl.  I have also
exchanged emails with Tammer.  If you are asking whether this is a "valid
site", I would have to answer "yes".  I have not found any hidden
"gotcha's".

Recently, I received the following communication. Does anyone have any
experience working with data sets provided by quandl.com?

Professor,

 

I have developed a platform for data tailored for researchers, and
especially students.  The site is open and free, and has over 7 million
economic, demographic, social, and more time series datasets available for
downloading.  Importantly, the ease by which a user can find, trim,
transform, merge, and download time series data from Quandl is -in my
opinion- unmatched elsewhere.

 

My hope is that you will visit the site briefly, and perhaps offer me some
feedback.  I've provided more information here:

I have also begun to create tutorials to help teach students how to easily
use Quandl in their work. If you have a request for a specific tutorial, I
can create it to help with your course materials.

 

The first is an introduction to using R -the open source statistical
software- and Quandl - http://www.quandl.com/learn/working-with-quandl-and-r
