Details
Originally, this data was used with the 1998 KDD competition (https://kdd.ics.uci.edu/databases/kddcup98/kddcup98.html). This particular version has been adapted from the version available in SAS Enterprise Miner (http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/emgsj/61207/PDF/default/emgsj.pdf Appendix 2 for descriptions of variable names). One goal is to determine whether a past donor donated in response to the 97NK mail solicitation and (if so), how much, based on age, gender, most recent donation amount, total gift amount, etc.
