This file describes the contents of the heart-disease directory.
This directory contains 4 databases concerning heart disease diagnosis.
All attributes are numeric-valued. The data was collected from the
four following locations:
1. Cleveland Clinic Foundation (cleveland.data)
2. Hungarian Institute of Cardiology, Budapest (hungarian.data)
3. V.A. Medical Center, Long Beach, CA (long-beach-va.data)
4. University Hospital, Zurich, Switzerland (switzerland.data)
Each database has the same instance format. While the databases have 76
raw attributes, only 14 of them are actually used. Thus I've taken the
liberty of making 2 copies of each database: one with all the attributes
and 1 with the 14 attributes actually used in past experiments.
The authors of the databases have requested:
...that any publications resulting from the use of the data include the
names of the principal investigator responsible for the data collection
at each institution. They would be:
1. Hungarian Institute of Cardiology. Budapest: Andras Janosi, M.D.
2. University Hospital, Zurich, Switzerland: William Steinbrunn, M.D.
3. University Hospital, Basel, Switzerland: Matthias Pfisterer, M.D.
4. V.A. Medical Center, Long Beach and Cleveland Clinic Foundation:
Robert Detrano, M.D., Ph.D.
Thanks in advance for abiding by this request.

4. Relevant Information:
This database contains 76 attributes, but all published experiments
refer to using a subset of 14 of them. In particular, the Cleveland
database is the only one that has been used by ML researchers to
this date. The "goal" field refers to the presence of heart disease
in the patient. It is integer valued from 0 (no presence) to 4.
Experiments with the Cleveland database have concentrated on simply
attempting to distinguish presence (values 1,2,3,4) from absence (value
0).
The names and social security numbers of the patients were recently
removed from the database, replaced with dummy values.
One file has been "processed", that one containing the Cleveland
database. All four unprocessed files also exist in this directory.
