categories3

A dataset of dummy nominal data inspired by characters/species
from the Bikini Bottom universe (SpongeBob SquarePants).
This dataset simulates a highly skewed distribution where
a few species dominate most of the frequency (long-tail / exponential pattern).
It was intentionally designed for pedagogical purposes to demonstrate
dominance and Pareto-like behavior in nominal data.

datasets

Provides tools for visualizing and analyzing the shape of discrete nominal frequency distributions. The package introduces centered frequency plots, in which nominal categories are ordered from the most frequent category at the center toward less frequent categories on both sides, facilitating the detection of distributional patterns such as uniformity, dominance, symmetry, skewness, and long-tail behavior. In addition, the package supports Pareto charts for the study of dominance and cumulative frequency structure in nominal data. The package is designed for exploratory data analysis and statistical teaching, offering visualizations that emphasize distributional form rather than arbitrary category ordering.
