Dataset Information

Additional Information

The classification task of this database is to determine where patients in a postoperative recovery area should be sent to next. Because hypothermia is a significant concern after surgery (Woolery, L. et. al. 1991), the attributes correspond roughly to body temperature measurements. Results: -- LERS (LEM2): 48% accuracy
