| 8 | +| 48842 instances, mix of continuous and discrete (train=32561, test=16281) |
| 9 | +| 45222 if instances with unknown values are removed (train=30162, test=15060) |

| 12 | +| Probability for the label '>50K' : 23.93% / 24.78% (without unknowns) |
| 13 | +| Probability for the label '<=50K' : 76.07% / 75.22% (without unknowns) |
| 14 | +| |
| 15 | +| Extraction was done by Barry Becker from the 1994 Census database. A set of |
| 16 | +| reasonably clean records was extracted using the following conditions: |
| 17 | +| ((AAGE>16) && (AGI>100) && (AFNLWGT>1)&& (HRSWK>0)) |
| 18 | +| |
| 19 | +| Prediction task is to determine whether a person makes over 50K |
| 20 | +| a year. |

| 32 | +| Error Accuracy reported as follows, after removal of unknowns from |
| 33 | +| train/test sets): |
| 34 | +| C4.5 : 84.46+-0.30 |
| 35 | +| Naive-Bayes: 83.88+-0.30 |
| 36 | +| NBTree : 85.90+-0.28 |
| 37 | +| |
| 38 | +| |
| 39 | +| Following algorithms were later run with the following error rates, |
| 40 | +| all after removal of unknowns and using the original train/test split. |
| 41 | +| All these numbers are straight runs using MLC++ with default values. |

| 69 | +| Description of fnlwgt (final weight) |
| 70 | +| |
| 71 | +| The weights on the CPS files are controlled to independent estimates of the |
| 72 | +| civilian noninstitutional population of the US. These are prepared monthly |
| 73 | +| for us by Population Division here at the Census Bureau. We use 3 sets of |
| 74 | +| controls. |
| 75 | +| These are: |
| 76 | +| 1. A single cell estimate of the population 16+ for each state. |
| 77 | +| 2. Controls for Hispanic Origin by age and sex. |
| 78 | +| 3. Controls by Race, age and sex. |
| 79 | +| |
| 80 | +| We use all three sets of controls in our weighting program and "rake" through |
| 81 | +| them 6 times so that by the end we come back to all the controls we used. |
| 82 | +| |
| 83 | +| The term estimate refers to population totals derived from CPS by creating |
| 84 | +| "weighted tallies" of any specified socio-economic characteristics of the |
| 85 | +| population. |
| 86 | +| |
| 87 | +| People with similar demographic characteristics should have |
| 88 | +| similar weights. There is one important caveat to remember |
| 89 | +| about this statement. That is that since the CPS sample is |
| 90 | +| actually a collection of 51 state samples, each with its own |
| 91 | +| probability of selection, the statement only applies within |
| 92 | +| state. |
