This is the famous covertype dataset in its binary version, retrieved 2013-11-13 from the libSVM site (called covtype.binary there). Additional to the preprocessing done there (see LibSVM site for details), this dataset was created as follows: -load covertpype dataset, unscaled. -normalize each file columnwise according to the following rules: -If a column only contains one value (constant feature), it will set to zero and thus removed by sparsity. -If a column contains two values (binary feature), the value occuring more often will be set to zero, the other to one. -If a column contains more than two values (multinary/real feature), the column is divided by its std deviation. -duplicate lines were finally removed.
Preprocessing: Transform from multiclass into binary class.
