Relevant Information:\N \T- This data was used by Hong and Young to illustrate the \N \T power of the optimal discriminant plane even in ill-posed\N \T settings. Applying the KNN method in the resulting plane\T\N \T gave 77% accuracy. However, these results are strongly\N \T biased (See Aeberhard's second ref. above, or email to\N \T stefan@coral.cs.jcu.edu.au). Results obtained by\N \T Aeberhard et al. are : \N \T RDA : 62.5%, KNN 53.1%, Opt. Disc.
