Disciminant Analysis: Self Assessment
This data file contains the celebrated Iris data collected by Fisher (1936). This file is used in most tests of classification algorithms. Any book on multivariate statistics or Machine Learning is likely to include a reference to it. There are 50 observations on each of three species:
1. Iris setosa
2. Iris versicolor
3. Iris virginica
There are four variables recorded for each observation;
Sepal length
Sepal width
Petal length
