I was drawn the National UFO Reporting Center's dataset as a fan of science fiction, particularly the X-files.
This project involved an analysis of a dataset using R.
The output, along with accompanying R code, can be viewed at Ufo sightings version 1 and Ufo sightings version 2
The RMarkdown code can be viewed at: ufo_sighting_data.RmdA summary of the results are outlined in my blog post, What do UFOs look like?
