Details

This is a modified version of the "Auto MPG Data Set" on the UCI Machine Learning Repository, which is a modified version of the "cars" dataset on StatLib.

Compared to the version of the dataset in UCI's MLR, this version of the dataset has removed (i) the 6 rows with missing horsepower scores, and (ii) the last column giving the name of each vehicle (car.name).

The dataset was originally collected by Ernesto Ramos and David Donoho.
