     This is a matrix with 10 columns. Each row is a point, there are
     699 points. The 9 first columns are the value of a dimension (or
     attribute) of the point, the 10th is the class of that point. The
     attributes are:

     \begin{enumerate}

     *  Sample code number

     *  Clump Thickness

     *  Uniformity of Cell Size 

     *  Uniformity of Cell Shape

     *  Marginal Adhesion

     *  Single Epithelial Cell Size

     *  Bare Nuclei (this item had several values marked as "?", the
        points with those values have been comented out)

     *  Bland Chromatin

     *  Normal Nucleoli 

     *  Mitoses \end{enumerate}
