Handwriting and Gender: A Multi-Use Data Set
Bradley, Sean
Journal of Statistics Education, v23 n1 2015
Can individuals guess the gender of a writer based on a sample of his or her handwriting? We administer an electronic survey twice to the same individuals to find out. The resulting data set is interesting to students, rich enough to be amenable to a wide array of activities, and open to a variety of exploratory tacks for statistics students and teachers.
