3. Past Usage:
Attributes 2 through 10 have been used to represent instances.
Each instance has one of 2 possible classes: benign or malignant.

-- Size of data set: only 369 instances (at that point in time)
-- Collected classification results: 1 trial only
-- Two pairs of parallel hyperplanes were found to be consistent with
50% of the data
-- Accuracy on remaining 50% of dataset: 93.5%
-- Three pairs of parallel hyperplanes were found to be consistent with
67% of data
-- Accuracy on remaining 33% of dataset: 95.9%

-- Size of data set: only 369 instances (at that point in time)
-- Applied 4 instance-based learning algorithms
-- Collected classification results averaged over 10 trials
-- Best accuracy result:
-- 1-nearest neighbor: 93.7%
-- trained on 200 instances, tested on the other 169
-- Also of interest:
-- Using only typical instances: 92.2% (storing only 23.1 instances)
-- trained on 200 instances, tested on the other 169
4. Relevant Information:
Samples arrive periodically as Dr. Wolberg reports his clinical cases.
The database therefore reflects this chronological grouping of the data.
This grouping information appears immediately below, having been removed
from the data itself:
Group 1: 367 instances (January 1989)
Group 2: 70 instances (October 1989)
Group 3: 31 instances (February 1990)
Group 4: 17 instances (April 1990)
Group 5: 48 instances (August 1990)
Group 6: 49 instances (Updated January 1991)
Group 7: 31 instances (June 1991)
Group 8: 86 instances (November 1991)
-----------------------------------------
Total: 699 points (as of the donated datbase on 15 July 1992)
Note that the results summarized above in Past Usage refer to a dataset
of size 369, while Group 1 has only 367 instances. This is because it
originally contained 369 instances; 2 were removed. The following
statements summarizes changes to the original Group 1's set of data:
##### Group 1 : 367 points: 200B 167M (January 1989)
##### Revised Jan 10, 1991: Replaced zero bare nuclei in 1080185 & 1187805
##### Revised Nov 22,1991: Removed 765878,4,5,9,7,10,10,10,3,8,1 no record
##### : Removed 484201,2,7,8,8,4,3,10,3,4,1 zero epithelial
##### : Changed 0 to 1 in field 6 of sample 1219406
##### : Changed 0 to 1 in field 8 of following sample:
##### : 1182404,2,3,1,1,1,2,0,1,1,1
5. Number of Instances: 699 (as of 15 July 1992)
6. Number of Attributes: 10 plus the class attribute
