Python – Value error: Dataset Duncan was not found

Value error: Dataset Duncan was not found… here is a solution to the problem.

Value error: Dataset Duncan was not found

I’m running this tutorial using statsmodel

https://www.statsmodels.org/stable/examples/notebooks/generated/regression_plots.html

However, in this line,

prestige = sm.datasets.get_rdataset("Duncan", "car", cache=True).data

I got the error :

ValueError: Dataset Duncan was not found.

Any idea how to solve this problem? Thank you.

Solution

Change your code to

prestige = sm.datasets.get_rdataset("Duncan", "carData", cache=True).data

The package name in Rdataset has been changed from “car” to “carData”.
