The Python statsmodels library grants access to many R-datasets which can be downloaded e.g. with:
import statsmodels.api as sm
df = sm.datasets.get_rdataset(dataname='iris', package='datasets').data
But for this you have to know the id or the name of the dataset.
sm.datasets.get_rdataset??
Signature: sm.datasets.get_rdataset(dataname, package='datasets', cache=False)
Source:
def get_rdataset(dataname, package="datasets", cache=False):
"""download and return R dataset
Parameters
----------
dataname : str
The name of the dataset you want to download
There is a list of available datasets here, but this list does not contain the identifiers. Also not the detailed view.
Is there an overview of all the available datasets that contains the ids e.g. "iris"?
There is an index that is supposed to list all the datasets, but e.g. 'rice' as a name does not work.
get_rdataset
that work. $\endgroup$ – Sören Dec 13 '19 at 15:07
