Sashelp Data Sets

The Sashelp.JunkMail data set comes from a study that classifies whether an e-mail is junk e-mail (coded as 1) or not (coded as 0). The data were collected in Hewlett-Packard labs and donated by George Forman. The data set contains 4,601 observations with 59 variables. The response variable is a binary indicator of whether an e-mail is considered spam or not. There are 57 predictor variables that record frequencies of some common words and characters and lengths of uninterrupted sequences of capital letters in e-mails. The following steps display information about the Sashelp.JunkMail data set and create Figure B.13:
