From the original data examples with missing values were removed (the
majority having the predicted value missing), and the ranges of the
continuous values have been scaled for use with an ANN (by dividing by 200).
Data comes from an original (non-machine-learning) study:
Warwick J Nash, Tracy L Sellers, Simon R Talbot, Andrew J Cawthorn and
Wes B Ford (1994) "The Population Biology of Abalone (_Haliotis_
species) in Tasmania. I. Blacklip Abalone (_H. rubra_) from the North
Coast and Islands of Bass Strait", Sea Fisheries Division, Technical
Report No. 48 (ISSN 1034-3288)
