#' Auto MPG
#'
#' This dataset is a slightly modified version of the dataset provided in the
#' StatLib library. In line with the use by Ross Quinlan (1993) in predicting
#' the attribute "mpg", 8 of the original instances were removed because they
#' had unknown values for the "mpg" attribute. The original dataset is available
#' in the file "auto-mpg.data-original". "The data concerns city-cycle fuel
#' consumption in miles per gallon, to be predicted in terms of 3 multivalued
#' discrete and 5 continuous attributes." (Quinlan, 1993)
#'
#' @format A data frame with 398 observations on the following 8 variables.
#' \enumerate{
#'   \item mpg
#'   \item cylinders
#'   \item displacement
#'   \item horsepower
#'   \item weight
#'   \item acceleration
#'   \item model year
#'   \item origin
#'   \item car name
#' }
#'
#' @details
#' Revised from CMU StatLib library, data concerns city-cycle fuel consumption.
