Data Set Information:
This database does NOT use a standard set of attributes per instance.
Contact Ray Bareiss (rbareiss '@' uunet.uucp ?) for more information.
Domain expert: Professor Craig Wier of the University of Texas, Austin.
Attribute Information:
(all attributes are nominally valued)
1. case identifier.
2. classification (24 classes)
3. List of case features
