Distribution
The dataset is typically provided as a CSV file and comprises 14 distinct columns across 87 individual records. The total file size is approximately 10.83 kB.
Usage
This dataset is ideally suited for machine learning projects, particularly classification tasks aimed at predicting a character's homeworld based on their attributes. It is also excellent for exploratory data analysis (EDA), allowing users to uncover patterns, distributions, and correlations within the Star Wars character data. It can be employed for academic research into character demographics or for developing interactive Star Wars-themed applications.
Coverage
The dataset spans a diverse range of Star Wars characters, covering various geographic homeworlds found throughout the galaxy. The time range for character birth years is broad, from 8 to 896. Demographically, it includes multiple species such as Humans, Droids, and various alien forms, with different sexes and genders represented. It is important to note that certain attributes, such as character mass, birth year, associated vehicles, and starships, have a notable proportion of missing data.
