nomiShape (version 1.0.1)

categories4: Categories4: Structured (triangular / normal-like) nominal distribution

Description

A dataset of dummy nominal data inspired by characters or species from the Bikini Bottom universe (SpongeBob SquarePants).

Usage

categories4

Format

A data frame with 250 rows and 1 variable:

animal

Character or species name (11 categories inspired by Bikini Bottom).

Details

The dataset represents a structured nominal distribution in which a limited number of categories dominate, followed by a gradual and approximately symmetric decline in frequencies. This pattern is consistent with a triangular or normal-like shape rather than a strongly long-tailed (Pareto/exponential) distribution.

The dataset was intentionally designed for pedagogical purposes to illustrate dominance, symmetry, and modal structure in nominal data, and to serve as a contrast with truly long-tailed distributions included elsewhere in the package.
