<p>I think I've probably been the most vocal opponent of data-finding questions on CrossValidated, but this one seems fine to me.  My <a href="https://stats.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/486/suitable-venue-to-help-find-specific-statistical-data/487#487">main</a> <a href="https://stats.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1032/data-sourcing-we-need-to-make-up-our-mind/1033#1033">complaint</a> has been that these questions need answers from subject-matter experts, not statistical experts, and are therefore simultaneously not very educational for CV users outside of that subject matter expertise, and more likely to get better responses from a subject-matter StackExchange site.</p>

<p>That complaint doesn't apply here. CV users from just about any field have a reasonable chance of being able to answer the question, and could provide additional pointers for the process of evaluating novel methods against known datasets.  That's <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/faq">"statistical analysis, applied or theoretical"</a>, right?</p>

<p>Is it a very interesting question?  No.  But I'd vote to re-open if I had the rep.</p>
