Sources:\N (a) Origin: This dataset was taken from the StatLib library which is\N maintained at Carnegie Mellon University. The dataset was \N used in the 1983 American Statistical Association Exposition.\N (c) Date: July 7, 1993\N \N 3. Past Usage:\N - See 2b (above)\N - Quinlan,R. (1993). Combining Instance-Based and Model-Based Learning.\N In Proceedings on the Tenth International Conference of Machine \N Learning, 236-243, University of Massachusetts, Amherst. Morgan\N Kaufmann.\N \N 4. Relevant Information:\N \N This dataset is a slightly modified version of the dataset provided in\N the StatLib library. In line with the use by Ross Quinlan (1993) in\N predicting the attribute "mpg", 8 of the original instances were removed \N because they had unknown values for the "mpg" attribute. The original \N dataset is available in the file "auto-mpg.data-original".\N \N "The data concerns city-cycle fuel consumption in miles per gallon,\N to be predicted in terms of 3 multivalued discrete and 5 continuous\N attributes." (Quinlan, 1993)\N \N 5. Number of Instances: 398\N \N 6. Number of Attributes: 9 including the class attribute\N \N 7. Attribute Information:\N \N 1. mpg: continuous\N 2. cylinders: multi-valued discrete\N 3. displacement: continuous\N 4. horsepower: continuous\N 5. weight: continuous\N 6. acceleration: continuous\N 7. model year: multi-valued discrete\N 8. origin: multi-valued discrete\N 9. car name: string (unique for each instance)\N \N 8. Missing Attribute Values: horsepower has 6 missing values
