Ionosphere Dataset

1: Introduction

The Ionosphere Dataset requires the prediction of structure in the atmosphere given radar returns targeting free electrons in the ionosphere.

It is a binary (2-class) classification problem. The number of observations for each class is not balanced. There are 351 observations with 34 input variables and 1 output variable. The variable names are as follows:

17 pairs of radar return data.
…
Class (g for good and b for bad).
