#' Photo classifications: fashion or not
#'
#' This is a simulated dataset for photo classifications based on a machine
#' learning algorithm versus what the true classification is for those photos.
#' While the data are not real, they resemble performance that would be
#' reasonable to expect in a well-built classifier.
#'
#' The hypothetical ML algorithm has a precision of 90\%, meaning of those
#' photos it claims are fashion, about 90\% of them are actually about fashion.
#' The recall of the ML algorithm is about 64\%, meaning of the photos that are
#' about fashion, it correctly predicts that they are about fashion about 64\%
#' of the time.
