Datasets with Strong and Spurious Correlations
Provides datasets from Vigen (2015) <https://web.archive.org/web/20230607181247/https%3A/tylervigen.com/spurious-correlations> rescued from the Internet Wayback Machine. These should be preserved for statistics introductory courses as these make it very clear that correlation is not causation.
