The dataset comprises 651 randomly sampled movies that were produced and released before the year 2016.
Some variables in this dataset are included for informational
purposes and may not be suitable for statistical analysis. It’s
important to discern which variables are meaningful and which can be
omitted. For instance, the information in actor1 through
actor5 was used to determine if the movie casts an actor or
actress who has won a best actor or actress Oscar.
Consider omitting certain observations or restructuring some variables to ensure they are suitable for answering your research questions. When fitting a model, be cautious of collinearity, as some variables might be dependent on each other.
