I am preparing 2/3 neural networks models (I have chosen "neuralnet", "nnet", "AMORE" randomly among the R packages) for a certain problem. At the moment I do not have the Data Set, but I would like to train my neural networks on a similar one.

I am looking for a Data Set with some features:

  1. a set of n-1 independent variables (where n is not extremely large);
  2. a dependent variable assuming values in a very wide range (for example y varies from 0 to hundreds of thousands).
  3. Only a very few rows have a very high y.

Do you know some Data Set similar to the one I will have to deal with?

  • That is a very specific data set. The answer to this question would not help anyone except you. This is not the purpose of the site. Is there any way you could re-phrase your question so it is not about your specific data set. For instance, what has prevented you searching for a similar data set, have you looked at any sources of machine learning tutorial data (such as archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets.html )? Have you tried simply constructing a test dataset over a mathematical model?

    First of all thanks for the site (I hope this site is not only for already experts in Data Science, otherwise... why this site?!?!). Second, I tried to write it more generally (I had given numbers to help the answers). Third.... I belong to other StackExchange sites: I had given and received a lot of aids, without overthinking. Maybe some data scientist has worked on a data set similar to the one I'm looking for, so... maybe he will be happy to share his knowledge with me and the community. Anyways, thanks for the advices.

  • I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it depends on theOpenData SE

  • Stupid question probably, but why can't you just simulate a data set to your requirements? Given there's no point at all in training a NN on a dataset that isn't the TRUE training data for your real dataset, you can't actually do anything useful on your true data with any other dataset (unless you tell us what it is, like pictures of tanks). So my stupid question is basically saying "do you really just want to find out how the R packages work?"
