sample time series datasets R and python
<p>Since I am very lazy I don't want to spend time downloading datasets, loading them and perform pre-processing to test some sample functions on different timeseries. What are some sample timeseries datasets available with R and python? (which can be imported easily). For eg: there is the iris dataset (which can be easily loaded in my environment using <code>data(iris)</code>).</p>

<p>In <code>R</code>, per @Kabulan0lak's comment, you can choose from different "preloaded" datasets. One way to see what you currently have available in your system is to type:</p>

<pre><code>data()
</code></pre>

<p>Since you're looking for time series data, I would suggest the <code>EuStockMarkets</code> dataset. You can either load it in your space explicitly:</p>

<pre><code>data("EuStockMarkets")
</code></pre>

<p>or call it directly, simply typing:</p>

<pre><code>EuStockMarkets
</code></pre>

<p>Other datasets that may interest you include:</p>

<ul>
<li><code>LakeHuron</code> dataset is a single series of class <code>ts</code>.</li>
<li><code>JohnsonJohnson</code> quarterly earnings of the company Johnson  &amp; Johnson .</li>
</ul>
