Source

The data is from Kaggle. Lavanya Gupta created the Google Play Store Apps on Kaggle. https://www.kaggle.com/lava18/google-play-store-apps

Details

Lavanya Gupta created a public dataset on Kaggle about Google Play Store applications. The information in the dataset was scraped from the Google Play Store. Because there are apps always being added or removed from Google Play Store, Gupta has modified this dataset over time. This dataset is the most recent version, Version 5, and was uploaded by Gupta to Kaggle on September 2018.

Note

The dataset has some challenges for students. For example, the size variable needs to be converted to a standard numeric unit. The genres field can contain more than one value seperated by semicolons. The number of installs needs to be converted to an ordinal factor. The type factor has an NaN value.
