+% 1 : the patient should be fitted with hard contact lenses,
+% 2 : the patient should be fitted with soft contact lenses,
+% 1 : the patient should not be fitted with contact lenses.
+%
+% 1. age of the patient: (1) young, (2) pre-presbyopic, (3) presbyopic

+%
+% Two datasets are provided. the original dataset, in the form provided
+% by Prof. Hofmann, contains categorical/symbolic attributes and
+% is in the file "german.data".
+%
+% For algorithms that need numerical attributes, Strathclyde University
+% produced the file "german.data-numeric". This file has been edited
+% and several indicator variables added to make it suitable for
+% algorithms which cannot cope with categorical variables. Several
+% attributes that are ordered categorical (such as attribute 17) have
+% been coded as integer. This was the form used by StatLog.

+% 1 2
+% ----------------------------
+% 1 0 1

+% 2 5 0
+%
+% (1 = Good, 2 = Bad)
+%
+% the rows represent the actual classification and the columns
+% the predicted classification.
+%
+% It is worse to class a customer as good when they are bad (5),
+% than it is to class a customer as bad when they are good (1).

+% 1. Smith,~J.~W., Everhart,~J.~E., Dickson,~W.~C., Knowler,~W.~C., \&
+% Johannes,~R.~S. (1988). Using the ADAP learning algorithm to forecast
+% the onset of diabetes mellitus. In {\it Proceedings of the Symposium
+% on Computer Applications and Medical Care} (pp. 261--265). IEEE
+% Computer Society Press.
+%
+% The diagnostic, binary-valued variable investigated is whether the
+% patient shows signs of diabetes according to World Health Organization
+% criteria (i.e., if the 2 hour post-load plasma glucose was at least
+% 200 mg/dl at any survey examination or if found during routine medical
+% care). The population lives near Phoenix, Arizona, USA.
+%
+% Results: Their ADAP algorithm makes a real-valued prediction between
+% 0 and 1. This was transformed into a binary decision using a cutoff of
+% 0.448. Using 576 training instances, the sensitivity and specificity
+% of their algorithm was 76% on the remaining 192 instances.
+%
+% 4. Relevant Information:
+% Several constraints were placed on the selection of these instances from
+% a larger database. In particular, all patients here are females at
+% least 21 years old of Pima Indian heritage. ADAP is an adaptive learning
+% routine that generates and executes digital analogs of perceptron-like
+% devices. It is a unique algorithm; see the paper for details.

+% 5. 2-Hour serum insulin (mu U/ml)
+% 6. Body mass index (weight in kg/(height in m)^2)
+% 7. Diabetes pedigree function
+% 8. Age (years)

+% -- Unknown technical note number (sorry, not listed here)
+% -- General Results: nearest neighbor held its own with respect to the
+% rule-based system
+%
+% 4. Relevant Information:n
+% Vina conducted a comparison test of her rule-based system, BEAGLE, the
+% nearest-neighbor algorithm, and discriminant analysis. BEAGLE is
+% a product available through VRS Consulting, Inc.; 4676 Admiralty Way,
+% Suite 206; Marina Del Ray, CA 90292 (213) 827-7890 and FAX: -3189.
+% In determining whether the glass was a type of "float" glass or not,
+% the following results were obtained (# incorrect answers):
+%
+% Type of Sample Beagle NN DA
+% Windows that were float processed (87) 10 12 21
+% Windows that were not: (76) 19 16 22
+%
+% The study of classification of types of glass was motivated by
+% criminological investigation. At the scene of the crime, the glass left
+% can be used as evidence...if it is correctly identified!
