# Context What’s the best (or at least the most popular) Halloween candy? That was the question this dataset was collected to answer. Data was collected by creating a website where participants were shown [presenting two fun-sized candies and asked to click on the one they would prefer to receive](http://walthickey.com/2017/10/18/whats-the-best-halloween-candy/). In total, more than 269 thousand votes were collected from 8,371 different IP addresses. # Content `candy-data.csv` includes attributes for each candy along with its ranking. For binary variables, 1 means yes, 0 means no. The data contains the following fields: * chocolate: Does it contain chocolate? * fruity: Is it fruit flavored? * caramel: Is there caramel in the candy? * peanutalmondy: Does it contain peanuts, peanut butter or almonds? * nougat: Does it contain nougat? * crispedricewafer: Does it contain crisped rice, wafers, or a cookie component? * hard: Is it a hard candy? * bar: Is it a candy bar? * pluribus: Is it one of many candies in a bag or box? * sugarpercent: The percentile of sugar it falls under within the data set. * pricepercent: The unit price percentile compared to the rest of the set. * winpercent: The overall win percentage according to 269,000 matchups.
