Infodemiological data of high-school drop-out related web searches in Canada correlating with real-world statistical data in the period 2004-2012
The present data article describes high-school drop-out related web activities in Canada, from 2004 to 2012, obtained mining Google Trends (GT), using high-school drop-out as key-word. The searches volumes were processed, correlated and cross-correlated with statistical data obtained at national and...
