Boston Housing Interaction Data

Description

Median house price for 506 census tracts of Boston from the 1970 census. The original data comprises 506 observations and 13 variables but has been modified here to include all pairwise interactions of main effects and to include B-spline basis functions of up to 6 degrees of freedom for all original predictors. In addition, all real valued variables were mapped to dummy variables representing a factor with three levels and all pairwise interactions of these dummy variables were added to the design matrix. In total, the modified data contains 506 observations and 658 variables. The outcome is the median house price medv.
