x12: Synthetic data set of two variables

In ppclust: Probabilistic and Possibilistic Cluster Analysis

Description

A synthetic data set described by Pal et al (2005). It consists of two continous variables forming two well-separated clusters in addition to two noise.

Usage

data(x12)

Format

A data frame with 12 rows and 2 numeric variables:

p1

a numeric variable ranging from -5.0 to 5.0

p2

a numeric variable ranging from -1.67 to 10.0

Note

The data set x12 is recommended to test the performances of the possibilistic and probabilistic clustering algorithms.
