- dataData frame of original records.
- pairsData frame of data pairs. Each row represents the comparison of two records,
identified by columns
id1 and id2. The following columns contain for each
considered attribute a real number in the range [0..1] representing the degree of

represented. - Furthermore, the components
M, U, W and Wdata
are present if weights have been calculated. See
