+## Dow Jones Index Data Set 
+
+### Predict which stock will provide greatest rate of return 
+
+

+---
+
+This *intermediate* level data set has 750 rows and 16 columns.
+This dataset contains weekly data for the Dow Jones Industrial Index. It has been used in computational investing research.
+In this dataset, each record (row) is data for a week. Each record also has the percentage of return that stock has in the following week (percent_change_next_weeks_price). 
+Ideally, this could be used to determine which stock will produce the greatest rate of return in the following week. 
+
+This data set is recommended for learning and practicing your skills in **exploratory data analysis**, **data visualization**, **clustering** and **regression/classification modelling techniques**. 
+Feel free to explore the data set with multiple **supervised** and **unsupervised** learning techniques. The Following data dictionary gives more details on this data set:
