One of the most common questions I hear is, "Do you know of a good data set for teaching xyz?" While there are hundreds of data sets in the JMP Sample Data directory, and many others posted on the JMP community in the and the case study library in the , finding just the right data for a particular topic can be a challenge.
There are many great sites with open data. Here, I've listed some of my favorites:
