The databet
This repo contains 27 datasets: 26 of these resemble the letters of the alphabet, the 27th is a star:
For each of the datasets (to 2 decimal places):
- The mean of the x-values is 0.50
- The mean of the y-values is 0.52
- The standard deviation of the x-values is 0.17
- The standard deviation of the y-values is 0.18
- The correlation coefficient is 0.16
The dataset for each letter of the alphabet can be found in JSON format in the letters folder.
