Introduction to Data Science Version 3

Section 9.4 Chapter Challenge

Look over the various websites connected with "Data.gov" to find the largest and/or most complex data set that you can. Think about (and perhaps write about) one or more of the ways that those data could potentially be misused by analysts. Download a data set that you find interesting and read it into R to see what you can do with it.
For a super extra challenge, go to this website: http://teamwpc.co.uk/products/wps and download a trial version of the "World Programming System" (WPS). WPS can read SAS code, so you could easily look up the code that you would need in order to read in your Data.gov dataset.
