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.
