## AI overview

This article investigates the provenance and reproducibility of the Old Faithful geyser datasets available in R. It compares the datasets with cited source tables, notes differing observation counts and apparent differences between versions, and reports that one dataset covers continuous observations collected from August 1 to August 15, 1985. The investigation uses Haskell, embedded R, data frames, and Nix.

## Source excerpt

Introduction For the blog post still being written on variatonal methods, I referred to the still excellent Bishop (2006) who uses as his example data, the data available in R for the geyser in Yellowstone National Park called "Old Faithful". While explaining this to another statistician, they started to ask about the dataset. Since I ... Continue reading Reproducibility and Old Faithful
