1. Title: Iris Plants Database
|
|
Updated Sept 21 by C.Blake - Added discrepency information
|
|
|
|
2. Sources:
|
|
(a) Creator: R.A. Fisher
|
|
(b) Donor: Michael Marshall (MARSHALL%PLU@io.arc.nasa.gov)
|
|
(c) Date: July, 1988
|
|
|
|
3. Past Usage:
|
|
- Publications: too many to mention!!! Here are a few.
|
|
1. Fisher,R.A. "The use of multiple measurements in taxonomic problems"
|
|
Annual Eugenics, 7, Part II, 179-188 (1936); also in "Contributions
|
|
to Mathematical Statistics" (John Wiley, NY, 1950).
|
|
2. Duda,R.O., & Hart,P.E. (1973) Pattern Classification and Scene Analysis.
|

(Q327.D83) John Wiley & Sons. ISBN 0-471-22361-1. See page 218.

|

|
|
Environments". IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine
|
|
Intelligence, Vol. PAMI-2, No. 1, 67-71.
|
|
-- Results:
|
|
-- very low misclassification rates (0% for the setosa class)
|
|
4. Gates, G.W. (1972) "The Reduced Nearest Neighbor Rule". IEEE
|
|
Transactions on Information Theory, May 1972, 431-433.
|
|
-- Results:
|
|
-- very low misclassification rates again
|
|
5. 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.
|
|
--- This data differs from the data presented in Fishers article

(identified by Steve Chadwick, spchadwick@espeedaz.net )
|
|
The 35th sample should be: 4.9,3.1,1.5,0.2,"Iris-setosa"
|
|
where the error is in the fourth feature.
|
|
The 38th sample: 4.9,3.6,1.4,0.1,"Iris-setosa"
|
|
where the errors are in the second and third features.
|
|
|
|
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
