Looking for package for data generation for classification and regression

Hi Paul,

If you aren't committed to creating your own, the cluster.datasets
package might be of interest. I've also used
http://cs.joensuu.fi/sipu/datasets/ quite often.

Sounds interesting, Tom! Thanks!

I am trying to find datasets for creating assignments for students of
a course of machine learning.

Hi Paul. Have you considered just going onto Kaggle and GitHub and
searching for some of the many freely available real datasets that are
posted there? I'm seeing a lot of productivity there days with research
focused on data generation, and not just on creating algorithms and
predictive models. Which is a good thing for us ;)

One of the current research papers I'm working on now is based on mining
a dataset I discovered on Kaggle a few months back and trying to create
a novel solution for that. Proper credit will of course be provided in
the citation references for the data provider.


Thanks,
Tom

Dear All,

I am in need of generating artificial data for machine learning
classification and regression analysis. What I am looking for is
something similar to Python sklearn.datasets.make_classification and
sklearn.datasets.make_regression:

https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/generated/sklearn.datasets.make_classification.html

https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/generated/sklearn.datasets.make_regression.html

I have searched CRAN for something similar, but found nothing. Could
someone please help me with this?

Thanks in advance,

Paul
