More information is % available at http://nas.cl.uh.edu/boetticher/research.html % % Since PROMISE 2006, the data set expanded by about 50 percent. The additional % tuples allowed us to divide the data into 3 major categories. Those who severely % underestimate (first 25 tuples). Those who accurately estimate (next 25 tuples). % And those who severely overestimate (last 25 tuples). The PROMISE 2007 experiments % compare the underestimators with the accurate estimators and the overestimators with % the accurate estimators. % % 5. Number of Instances: 75 % % 6. Number of Attributes: 14 independent variables and 1 dependent variable % % 7.
