Real-World Dataset

A Real-World Dataset is a data set of real-world data records (that represent some sensed event).

• Context:
  • It can range from being a Small Real-World Dataset to being a Large Real-World Dataset.
  • It can be created by a Data Collection Task.
  • It can be approximated by a Realistic Dataset.
• Example(s):
  • a Real-World Tabular Dataset, such as: Fisher's Iris Dataset.
  • a Real-World Clinical Dataset.
  • a Real-World Corpus.
  • a Real Timeseries.
  • a Real-World Evidence.
  • …
• Counter-Example(s):
  • any Synthetic Dataset.
• See: Data Source, Real-World Application, Sensor Data.
