Machine Generated Data

About Data Used in This Lab

The data used in this lab are not real. Instead, each student’s lab includes machine-generated, probability-distributed data that mimics what you might encounter in real life, where benign randomness in large datasets leads to difficulty in distinguishing real incidents from false positives. So, your files will be completely different from those of other students, and even your instructor does not know what the stolen data looks like or where it is hidden!
