We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.

The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.

When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.

To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!

Boston House Prices

A dataset derived from information collected by the US Census Service concerning housing in Boston, Massachusetts (1978).

## Installation ```bash npm install @stdlib/datasets-harrison-boston-house-prices ``` Alternatively, - To load the package in a website via a `script` tag without installation and bundlers, use the [ES Module][es-module] available on the [`esm`][esm-url] branch (see [README][esm-readme]). - If you are using Deno, visit the [`deno`][deno-url] branch (see [README][deno-readme] for usage intructions). - For use in Observable, or in browser/node environments, use the [Universal Module Definition (UMD)][umd] build available on the [`umd`][umd-url] branch (see [README][umd-readme]). - To use as a general utility for the command line, install the corresponding [CLI package][cli-section] globally. The [branches.md][branches-url] file summarizes the available branches and displays a diagram illustrating their relationships. To view installation and usage instructions specific to each branch build, be sure to explicitly navigate to the respective README files on each branch, as linked to above.

## Usage ```javascript var dataset = require( '@stdlib/datasets-harrison-boston-house-prices' ); ``` #### dataset() Returns a dataset derived from information collected by the US Census Service concerning housing in Boston, Massachusetts (1978). ```javascript var data = dataset(); /* returns [ { 'crim': 0.00632, 'zn': 18.00, 'indus': 2.310, 'chas': 0, 'nox': 0.5380, 'rm': 6.5750, 'age': 65.20, 'dis': 4.0900, 'rad': 1, 'tax': 296.0, 'ptratio': 15.30, 'b': 396.90, 'lstat': 4.98, 'medv': 24.00 }, ... ] */ ```

## Notes - The data consists of 14 attributes: - **crim**: per capita crime rate by town - **zn**: proportion of residential land zoned for lots over 25,000 square feet - **indus**: proportion of non-retail business acres per town - **chas**: Charles River dummy variable (`1` if tract bounds river; `0` otherwise) - **nox**: nitric oxides concentration (parts per 10 million) - **rm**: average number of rooms per dwelling - **age**: proportion of owner-occupied units built prior to 1940 - **dis**: weighted distances to five Boston employment centers - **rad**: index of accessibility to radial highways - **tax**: full-value property-tax rate per $10,000 - **ptratio**: pupil-teacher ratio by town - **b**: `1000(Bk-0.63)^2` where `Bk` is the proportion of blacks by town - **lstat**: percent lower status of the population - **medv**: median value of owner-occupied homes in $1000's - The dataset can be used to predict two dependent variables: 1) nitrous oxide level and 2) median home value. - The median home value field seems to be censored at `50.00` (corresponding to a median value of $50,000). Censoring is suggested by the fact that the highest median value of exactly $50,000 is reported in 16 cases, while 15 cases have values between $40,000 and $50,000. Values are rounded to the nearest hundred. Harrison and Rubinfeld do not, however, mention any censoring. - As documented by [Gilley and Pace (1996)][@gilley:1996a], the dataset contains eight miscoded median values.

## Examples ```javascript var Plot = require( '@stdlib/plot' ); var dataset = require( '@stdlib/datasets-harrison-boston-house-prices' ); var data; var plot; var opts; var x; var y; var i; data = dataset(); // Extract housing data... x = []; y = []; for ( i = 0; i < data.length; i++ ) { x.push( data[ i ].rm ); y.push( data[ i ].medv ); } // Create a plot instance: opts = { 'lineStyle': 'none', 'symbols': 'closed-circle', 'xLabel': 'Average Number of Rooms', 'yLabel': 'Median Value', 'title': 'Number of Rooms vs Median Value' }; plot = new Plot( [ x ], [ y ], opts ); // Render the plot: console.log( plot.render( 'html' ) ); ```

## CLI

## Installation To use as a general utility, install the CLI package globally ```bash npm install -g @stdlib/datasets-harrison-boston-house-prices-cli ```

### Usage ```text Usage: harrison-boston-house-prices [options] Options: -h, --help Print this message. -V, --version Print the package version. --format fmt Output format: 'csv' or 'ndjson'. ```

### Notes - The CLI supports two output formats: comma-separated values ([CSV][csv]) and newline-delimited JSON ([NDJSON][ndjson]). The default output format is [CSV][csv].

### Examples ```bash $ harrison-boston-house-prices ```
