Audiology Database This database is a standardized version of the original audiology database (see audiology.* in this directory). The non-standard set of attributes have been converted to a standard set of attributes according to the rules that follow.

Each property that appears anywhere in the original .data or .test file has been represented as a separate attribute in this file.

A property such as age_gt_60 is represented as a boolean attribute with values f and t.

In most cases, a property of the form x(y) is represented as a discrete attribute x() whose possible values are the various y's; air() is an example. There are two exceptions:

when only one value of y appears anywhere, e.g. static(normal). In this case, x_y appears as a boolean attribute. when one case can have two or more values of x, e.g. history(..). All possible values of history are treated as separate boolean attributes.

Since boolean attributes only appear as positive conditions, each boolean attribute is assumed to be false unless noted as true. The value of multi-value discrete attributes taken as unknown ("?") unless a value is specified.

The original case identifications, p1 to p200 in the .data file and t1 to t26 in the .test file, have been added as a unique identifier attribute.

[Note: in the original .data file, p165 has a repeated specification of o_ar_c(normal); p166 has repeated specification of speech(normal) and conflicting values air(moderate) and air(mild). No other problems with the original data were noted.]
