4. Relevant Information:
- This data was used by Hong and Young to illustrate the
power of the optimal discriminant plane even in ill-posed
settings. Applying the KNN method in the resulting plane
gave 77% accuracy. However, these results are strongly
biased (See Aeberhard's second ref. above, or email to
stefan@coral.cs.jcu.edu.au). Results obtained by
Aeberhard et al. are :
RDA : 62.5%, KNN 53.1%, Opt. Disc. Plane 59.4%
The data described 3 types of pathological lung cancers.
The Authors give no information on the individual
variables nor on where the data was originally used.
- In the original data 4 values for the fifth attribute were -1.
These values have been changed to ? (unknown). (*)
- In the original data 1 value for the 39 attribute was 4. This
value has been changed to ? (unknown). (*)
5. Number of Instances: 32
6. Number of Attributes: 57 (1 class attribute, 56 predictive)
7. Attribute Information:
attribute 1 is the class label.
- All predictive attributes are nominal, taking on integer
values 0-3
8. Missing Attribute Values: Attributes 5 and 39 (*)
9. Class Distribution:
- 3 classes,
1.) 9 observations
2.) 13 "
3.) 10 "
