## Data

The data set is comprised of 651 randomly sampled movies produced and
released before 2016.

Some of these variables are only there for informational purposes and do
not make any sense to include in a statistical analysis. It is up to you
to decide which variables are meaningful and which should be omitted. For
example information in the the `actor1` through `actor5` variables was used
to determine whether the movie casts an actor or actress who won a best
actor or actress Oscar.

You might also choose to omit certain observations or restructure some of
the variables to make them suitable for answering your research questions.

When you are fitting a model you should also be careful about collinearity,
as some of these variables may be dependent on each other.
