wdbc: Wisconsin diagnostic breast cancer (WDBC) data

In Japrin/mclust: Gaussian Mixture Modelling for Model-Based Clustering, Classification, and Density Estimation

Description

The data set provides data for 569 patients on 30 features of the cell nuclei obtained from a digitized image of a fine needle aspirate (FNA) of a breast mass. For each patient the cancer was diagnosed as malignant or benign.

Usage

Details

The recorded features are:

• Radius as mean of distances from center to points on the perimeter

• Texture as standard deviation of gray-scale values

• Perimeter as cell nucleus perimeter

• Area as cell nucleus area

• Smoothness as local variation in radius lengths

• Compactness as cell nucleus compactness, perimeter^2 / area - 1

• Concavity as severity of concave portions of the contour

• Nconcave as number of concave portions of the contour

• Symmetry as cell nucleus shape

• Fractaldim as fractal dimension, "coastline approximation" - 1

For each feature the recorded values are computed from each image as <feature_name>_mean, <feature_name>_se, and <feature_name>_extreme, for the mean, the standard error, and the mean of the three largest values.
