This package contains a collection of real-world datasets and functions for creating artificial datasets that work as benchmarks for machine learning methods. Most datasets have been taken from the UCI repository at ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/machine-learning-databases http://www.ics.uci.edu/~mlearn/MLRepository.html See the corresponding help files for original data sources. Some conversions are done for smoother usage in R (like conversions to factors), all changes are recorded in file Data-Administration.R.
