The Iris dataset was used in R.A. Fisher's classic 1936 paper, The Use of Multiple Measurements in Taxonomic Problems, and can also be found on the UCI Machine Learning Repository.

It includes three iris species with 50 samples each as well as some properties about each flower. One flower species is linearly separable from the other two, but the other two are not linearly separable from each other.

The columns in this dataset are:

• Id
• SepalLengthCm
• SepalWidthCm
• PetalLengthCm
• PetalWidthCm
• Species

Iris Flower Dataset

This is a classic and very widely used dataset in machine learning and statistics, often serving as a first dataset for classification problems. Introduced by the British statistician and biologist Ronald Fisher in his 1936 paper "The use of multiple measurements in taxonomic problems," it is a foundational resource for learning classification algorithms.

Overview:

The dataset contains measurements for 150 samples of iris flowers. Each sample belongs to one of three species of iris:

• Iris setosa
• Iris versicolor
• Iris virginica

For each flower, four features were measured:

• Sepal length (in cm)
• Sepal width (in cm)
• Petal length (in cm)
• Petal width (in cm)

The goal is typically to build a model that can classify iris flowers into their correct species based on these four features.

File Structure:

The dataset is usually provided as a single CSV (Comma Separated Values) file, often named iris.csv or similar. This file typically contains the following columns:

1. sepal_length (cm): Numerical. The length of the sepal of the iris flower.
2. sepal_width (cm): Numerical. The width of the sepal of the iris flower.
3. petal_length (cm): Numerical. The length of the petal of the iris flower.
4. petal_width (cm): Numerical. The width of the petal of the iris flower.
5. species: Categorical. The species of the iris flower (either 'setosa', 'versicolor', or 'virginica'). This is the target variable for classification.

Content of the Data:

The dataset contains an equal number of samples (50) for each of the three iris species. The measurements of the sepal and petal dimensions vary between the species, allowing for their differentiation using machine learning models.

How to Use This Dataset:

1. Download the iris.csv file.
2. Load the data using libraries like Pandas in Python.
3. Explore the data through visualization and statistical analysis to understand the relationships between the features and the different species.
4. Build classification models (e.g., Logistic Regression, Support Vector Machines, Decision Trees, K-Nearest Neighbors) using the sepal and petal measurements as features and the 'species' column as the target variable.
5. Evaluate the performance of your model using appropriate metrics (e.g., accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score).
6. The dataset is small and well-behaved, making it excellent for learning and experimenting with various classification techniques.

When using the Iris dataset, it is common to cite Ronald Fisher's original work:

Data Contribution:

Thank you for providing this classic and fundamental dataset to the Kaggle community. The Iris dataset remains an invaluable resource for both beginners learning the basics of classification and experienced practitioners testing new algorithms. Its simplicity and clear class separation make it an ideal starting point for many data science projects.

This famous (Fisher's or Anderson's) iris data set gives the measurements in centimeters of the variables sepal length and width and petal length and width, respectively, for 50 flowers from each of 3 species of iris. The species are Iris setosa, versicolor, and virginica.

The iris_dataset.rds serialisation is a replication of datasets::iris_dataset as dataset s3 class.

The iris_dataset.csv serialisation is an incomplete replication of the iris_dataset because the CSV file does not contain important semantic information; that is exported to iris_dataset.json (in a not standardised form) and the dataset-level metadata into the iris_dataset.bib BibLatex text file.

As high-throughput methods become more common, training undergraduates to analyze data must include having them generate informative summaries of large datasets. This flexible case study provides an opportunity for undergraduate students to become familiar with the capabilities of R programming in the context of high-throughput evolutionary data collected using macroarrays. The story line introduces a recent graduate hired at a biotech firm and tasked with analysis and visualization of changes in gene expression from 20,000 generations of the Lenski Lab’s Long-Term Evolution Experiment (LTEE). Our main character is not familiar with R and is guided by a coworker to learn about this platform. Initially this involves a step-by-step analysis of the small Iris dataset built into R which includes sepal and petal length of three species of irises. Practice calculating summary statistics and correlations, and making histograms and scatter plots, prepares the protagonist to perform similar analyses with the LTEE dataset. In the LTEE module, students analyze gene expression data from the long-term evolutionary experiments, developing their skills in manipulating and interpreting large scientific datasets through visualizations and statistical analysis. Prerequisite knowledge is basic statistics, the Central Dogma, and basic evolutionary principles. The Iris module provides hands-on experience using R programming to explore and visualize a simple dataset; it can be used independently as an introduction to R for biological data or skipped if students already have some experience with R. Both modules emphasize understanding the utility of R, rather than creation of original code. Pilot testing showed the case study was well-received by students and faculty, who described it as a clear introduction to R and appreciated the value of R for visualizing and analyzing large datasets.

This data differs from the data presented in Fishers article (identified by Steve Chadwick, spchadwick '@' espeedaz.net ). The 35th sample should be: 4.9,3.1,1.5,0.2,"Iris-setosa" where the error is in the fourth feature. The 38th sample: 4.9,3.6,1.4,0.1,"Iris-setosa" where the errors are in the second and third features.

Attribute Information:

1. sepal length in cm
2. sepal width in cm
3. petal length in cm
4. petal width in cm
5. class: -- Iris Setosa -- Iris Versicolour -- Iris Virginica

This project uses the Iris dataset from the RDatasets Julia package. It consists of 150 flower samples equally distributed across three species: Setosa, Versicolor, and Virginica. Each sample includes four numerical features: sepal length, sepal width, petal length, and petal width. The features are normalized for model input. The dataset is split into 80% training and 20% testing to evaluate a neural network model developed using Flux.jl for accurate species classification.
