Concrete: Concrete Compressive Strength Data Set

In MAVE: Methods for Dimension Reduction

Description

Concrete strength is very important in civil engineering and is a highly nonlinear function of age and ingredients. This dataset contains 1030 instances and there are 8 features relevant to concrete strength. The description of the varaibles are given below. The description is from https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets/Concrete+Compressive+Strength. Name – Data Type – Measurement – Description

Examples

data(Concrete)
train = sample(1:1030)[1:500]
x.train = as.matrix(Concrete[train,1:8])
y.train = as.matrix(Concrete[train,9])
x.test  = as.matrix(Concrete[-train,1:8])
y.test  = as.matrix(Concrete[-train,9])

dr = mave.compute(x.train,y.train, method='meanopg',max.dim=8)
dr.dim = mave.dim(dr)
y.pred = predict(dr.dim,x.test)
#estimation error
mean((y.pred-y.test)^2)
