About this Dataset

Young People Survey

Introduction

In 2013, students of the Statistics class at FSEV
UK were asked to invite their friends to
participate in this survey.

  • The data file (responses.csv) consists of 1010 rows and 150 columns (139
    integer and 11 categorical).
  • For convenience, the original variable names were shortened in the
    data file. See the columns.csv file if you want to match the data with the original names.
  • The data contain missing values.
  • The survey was presented to participants in both electronic and written form.
  • The original questionnaire was in Slovak language and was later translated
    into English.
  • All participants were of Slovakian nationality, aged between 15-30.

The variables can be split into the following groups:

  • Music preferences (19 items)
  • Movie preferences (12 items)
  • Hobbies & interests (32 items)
  • Phobias (10 items)
  • Health habits (3 items)
  • Personality traits, views on life, & opinions (57 items)
  • Spending habits (7 items)
  • Demographics (10 items)

Research questions

Many different techniques can be used to answer many questions, e.g.

  • Clustering: Given the music preferences, do people make up
    any clusters of similar behavior?
  • Hypothesis testing: Do women fear certain phenomena
    significantly more than men? Do the left handed people have different
    interests than right handed?
  • Predictive modeling: Can we predict spending habits of a person
    from his/her interests and movie or music preferences?
  • Dimension reduction: Can we describe a large number of human
    interests by a smaller number of latent concepts?
  • Correlation analysis: Are there any connections between music and
    movie preferences?
  • Visualization: How to effectively visualize a lot of variables
    in order to gain some meaningful insights from the data?
  • (Multivariate) Outlier detection: Small number of participants often cheats and randomly answers the questions. Can you identify them? Hint: Local outlier factor may help.
  • Missing values analysis: Are there any patterns in missing responses? What is the optimal way of imputing the values in surveys?
  • Recommendations: If some of user's interests are known, can we predict the other? Or, if we know what a person listen, can we predict which kind of movies he/she might like?
