### ### UCI Connectionist Bench (Sonar, Mines vs. Rocks) Data ### Local copy: sonar.csv Downloaded From: https://www.openml.org/d/40 (CSV file: https://api.openml.org/data/v1/get_csv/40) Original Source: UCI Machine Learning Repository https://archive.ics.uci.edu/dataset/151/connectionist+bench+sonar+mines+vs+rocks Variable Information: Name -- Data Type -- Measurement -- Description attribute_1 ... attribute_60 -- quantitative -- unitless, 0.0 to 1.0 -- energy within a particular frequency band, integrated over a certain period of time Class -- binary (Mine, Rock) -- none -- object that reflected the signal (M = mine, R = rock in the original UCI file) -- response variable Summary: Number of instances (observations): 208 Number of Attributes: 61 Attribute breakdown: 60 quantitative feature variables, and 1 binary response variable Missing Attribute Values: None Class distribution: Mine = 111 (53.4%), Rock = 97 (46.6%) Abstract: The task is to discriminate between sonar signals bounced off a metal cylinder (a mine) and those bounced off a roughly cylindrical rock. This is the data set Gorman and Sejnowski used in their study of classifying sonar signals with a neural network. Data Characteristics: 111 patterns were obtained by bouncing sonar signals off a metal cylinder at various angles and under various conditions, and 97 patterns were obtained from rocks under similar conditions. The transmitted signal is a frequency-modulated chirp, rising in frequency. The signals cover aspect angles spanning 90 degrees for the cylinder and 180 degrees for the rock. Each pattern is a set of 60 numbers in the range 0.0 to 1.0. Notes: The data set was contributed to the benchmark collection by Terry Sejnowski (Salk Institute / UC San Diego) and developed in collaboration with R. Paul Gorman (Allied-Signal Aerospace Technology Center), 1988. The integration aperture for higher frequencies occurs later in time, because those frequencies are transmitted later during the chirp. In the original UCI file the labels carry the letter R or M, and the numbers in the labels are in increasing order of aspect angle but do not encode the angle directly. Reference: Gorman, R.
