They describe characteristics of the cell nuclei present in the image. The target feature records the prognosis (benign (1) or malignant (2)). [Original data available here](ftp://ftp.cs.wisc.edu/math-prog/cpo-dataset/machine-learn/cancer/) Current dataset was adapted to ARFF format from the UCI version. Sample code ID's were removed. ! Note that there is also a related Breast Cancer Wisconsin (Original) Data Set with a different set of features, better known as [breast-w](https://www.openml.org/d/15). ### Feature description Ten real-valued features are computed for each of 3 cell nuclei, yielding a total of 30 descriptive features. See the papers below for more details on how they were computed. The 10 features (in order) are: a) radius (mean of distances from center to points on the perimeter) b) texture (standard deviation of gray-scale values) c) perimeter d) area e) smoothness (local variation in radius lengths) f) compactness (perimeter^2 / area - 1.0) g) concavity (severity of concave portions of the contour) h) concave points (number of concave portions of the contour) i) symmetry j) fractal dimension ("coastline approximation" - 1) ### Relevant Papers W.N.
