About
This classic dataset is designed for classifying iris plants into three distinct species. It comprises 150 samples, with 50 samples for each of the three iris species. The dataset includes various properties for each flower. Notably, one of the flower species is linearly separable from the other two, while the remaining two species are not linearly separable from each other, presenting a challenge for classification tasks.
Columns
- sepal_length: Represents the sepal length of the iris flower, measured in centimetres.
- sepal_width: Represents the sepal width of the iris flower, measured in centimetres.
- petal_length: Represents the petal length of the iris flower, measured in centimetres.
- petal_width: Represents the petal width of the iris flower, measured in centimetres.
- species: Indicates the class or species of the iris flower. This column has three unique values, with 'setosa' being the most common, accounting for 33% of the samples.
Distribution
The dataset is provided as an
iris.csv
file. It contains 150 records across 5 columns and has a file size of 3.86 KB. All columns have 150 valid entries, with no mismatched or missing values reported.Usage
This dataset is ideal for a variety of applications, particularly in the field of machine learning and data analysis. It is primarily used for classification models aimed at predicting iris species based on their physical characteristics. It is also suitable for clustering algorithms and serves as an excellent resource for educational purposes to introduce concepts like data cleaning, exploratory data analysis, and supervised learning.
