mnist_27: Useful example for illustrating machine learning algorithms based on MNIST data
Description
We only include a randomly selected set of 2s and 7s along with the two predictors based on the
proportion of dark pixels in the upper left and lower right quadrants respectively. The dataset is divided into
training and test sets.
Usage
mnist_27
Arguments
Format
An object of class list.
Details
train. A data frame containing training data: labels and predictors.
test. A data frame containing test data: labels and predictors.
index_train. The index of the original mnist training data used for the training set.
index_test. The index of the original mnist test data used for the test set.
true_p. A data.frame containing the
two predictors x_1 and x_2 and the conditional probability of being a 7
for x_1, x_2.
