USA births dataset? about seaborn-data HOT 3 CLOSED

This is a cool dataset, although I'm not sure it shows off any of the things seaborn is particularly good at doing, since most of the plots you'd make with it are single timeseries traces. Unless you had something in particular in mind? I'd love to replace the tips dataset with something that is actually somewhat scientifically interesting!

I also think it would be nice to have a more general purpose PyData dataset repository, seaborn-data isn't quite that, but I'd be happy to point load_dataset at it (the current system was just a quick hack).

That's a good idea! Note that there's already something like this in the broader ML community: http://mldata.org/
Scikit-learn has tools to access this data: http://scikit-learn.org/stable/datasets/mldata.html

from seaborn-data.

I think you're right that this data does not necessarily take advantage of Seaborn's strengths, and in that light it doesn't make much sense to add it here. Closing the issue!
