Dataset Information

Additional Information

A small subset of the original soybean database. See the reference for Fisher and Schlimmer in soybean-large.names for more information.

I do not have that paper, but have found what is probably a later variation of that figure in Stepp's dissertation, which lists the value "normal" for the first 2 classes and "irrelevant" for the latter 2 classes. I believe that "irrelevant" is used here as a synonym for "not-applicable", "dna", and "does-not-apply". I believe that there is a mis-print in the figure he read in their PAMI-83 article. I have checked over each attribute value in this database. It corresponds exactly with the copies listed in both Stepp's and Fisher's dissertations.
