Complete data set:

The following directory has a file for each word, comprising of a zipped 2,628 x 10,222 matrix giving the frequency of each labMT word appearing in a tweet with the given word on each day in our dataset: full matrices.

The following directory has a file for each word, each file being a 2,628 length vector with the ambient happiness for that word on each day in our dataset: happiness timeseries.

The words corresponding to the each column of the full matrices are ordered by happiness (see http://hedonometer.org/words.html), and can be downloaded here: labMT-english.csv.

The 2,628 days for each file span September 13, 2008 to November 23, 2015.
