(1980) \"Nosing Around the Neighborhood: A New System Structure and Classification Rule for Recognition in Partially Exposed Environments\".

See also: 1988 MLC Proceedings, 54-64. Cheeseman et al's AUTOCLASS II conceptual clustering system finds 3 classes in the data. 4. Relevant Information: --- This is perhaps the best known database to be found in the pattern recognition literature. Fisher's paper is a classic in the field and is referenced frequently to this day. (See Duda & Hart, for example.) The data set contains 3 classes of 50 instances each, where each class refers to a type of iris plant. One class is linearly separable from the other 2; the latter are NOT linearly separable from each other. --- Predicted attribute: class of iris plant. --- This is an exceedingly simple domain. 5. Number of Instances: 150 (50 in each of three classes) 6. Number of Attributes: 4 numeric, predictive attributes and the class 7. Attribute Information: 1. sepal length in cm 2. sepal width in cm 3. petal length in cm 4. petal width in cm 5. class: -- Iris Setosa -- Iris Versicolour -- Iris Virginica 8. Missing Attribute Values: None Summary Statistics: Min Max Mean SD Class Correlation sepal length: 4.3 7.9 5.84 0.83 0.7826 sepal width: 2.0 4.4 3.05 0.43 -0.4194 petal length: 1.0 6.9 3.76 1.76 0.9490 (high!) petal width: 0.1 2.5 1.20 0.76 0.9565 (high!) 9.
