2-3 Wine Dataset

[chinese][all]

Wine dataset collects data of 3 classes of wine from various places at Italy. Some characteristics are listed below:

• Data size: 178 entries
• 3 classes
• Data distribution: 59, 71, and 48 entries for each class
• 13 features corresponding to the values from chemical analysis, no missing data:
  • Alcohol
  • Malic acid
  • Ash
  • Alcalinity of ash
  • Magnesium
  • Total phenols
  • Flavanoids
  • Nonflavanoid phenols
  • Proanthocyanins
  • Color intensity
  • Hue
  • OD280/OD315 of diluted wines
  • Proline

Here are two papers that use the Wine dataset:

   Abstract!G

   The data was used with many others for comparing various classifiers. The classes are separable, though only RDA has achieved 100% correct classification. (RDA : 100%, QDA 99.4%, LDA 98.9%, 1NN 96.1% (z-transformed data)) (All results using the leave-one-out technique)

   In a classification context, this is a well posed problem with "well behaved" class structures. A good data set for first testing of a new classifier, but not very challenging.

We can display the data sizes among all classes, as follows:

Example 1: wineClassDataCount01.m

DS=prData('wine'); [classSize, classLabel]=dsClassSize(DS, 1); 13 features 178 instances 3 classes

We can display the feature distributions over different classes, as follows:

Example 2: wineClassDist01.m

DS=prData('wine'); dsDistPlot(DS);

We can plot the classes w.r.t. each of the features:

Example 3: wineProjPlot1.m

DS = prData('wine'); dsProjPlot1(DS);
