Dataset Information

Additional Information

This dataset is a slightly modified version of the dataset provided in the StatLib library. In line with the use by Ross Quinlan (1993) in predicting the attribute "mpg", 8 of the original instances were removed because they had unknown values for the "mpg" attribute. The original dataset is available in the file "auto-mpg.data-original".

"The data concerns city-cycle fuel consumption in miles per gallon, to be predicted in terms of 3 multivalued discrete and 5 continuous attributes." (Quinlan, 1993)

Variables Table Variable Name Role Type Description Units Missing Values displacement Feature Continuous no mpg Target Continuous no cylinders Feature Integer no horsepower Feature Continuous yes weight Feature Continuous no acceleration Feature Continuous no model_year Feature Integer no origin Feature Integer no car_name ID Categorical no
