DS3: DS3: Spatial data with arbitrary shapes

Description

Contains 8000 2-d points, with 6 "natural" looking shapes, all of which have an sinusoid-like shape that intersects with each cluster.

Usage

data("DS3")

Arguments

Format

A data frame with 8000 observations on the following 2 variables.

X
