rattle (version 3.0.2)

weather: Sample and full dataset for illustrating Rattle functionality.

Description

Weather observations from a number of locations around Australia, obtained from the Australian Commonwealth Bureau of Meteorology and processed to create a sample dataset for illustrating data mining using R and Rattle. The data has been processed to provide a target variable RainTomorrow (whether there is rain on the following day - No/Yes) and a risk variable RISK_MM (how much rain). Various transformations are performed on the data. The weather dataset is a fixed subset of the full weatherAUS dataset, for the purpose of repeatable demonstration. It includes only one year of data for a single weather station.

The weatherAUS dataset is ever changing, with each release of Rattle. It is updated from the Bureau of Meteorology web site regularly.

The locationsAUS dataset records the location of each weather station. The source dataset is Copyright by the Australian Commonwealth Bureau of Meteorology and used with permission.
