In jkrijthe/createdatasets: Download and preprocess common benchmark dataset for use in reproduceable simulation studies

Description

Task: Multiclass: formula(Class ~ . )

Usage

createBalanceScale(file = getfilepath("balancescale.rds"), write = TRUE,
  read = TRUE)

Arguments

file	character; path/filename to write data file to
write	logical; should the dataset be written to disk for later use? (default: TRUE)
read	logical; should we try to read the dataset from the specified location first? (default: TRUE)

Details

From UCI: "This data set was generated to model psychologicalexperimental results. Each example is classified as having thebalance scale tip to the right, tip to the left, or bebalanced. The attributes are the left weight, the leftdistance, the right weight, and the right distance. Thecorrect way to find the class is the greater of (left-distance * left-weight) and (right-distance * right-weight). If they are equal, it is balanced."

Value

The dataset as a data.table
