The iris Dataset in R


The iris dataset is a built-in dataset in R that contains measurements on 4 different attributes (in centimeters) for 50 flowers from 3 different species. Since it’s built-in, we can load it with data(iris). I am using RStudio.

> head(iris)
  Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species
1          5.1         3.5          1.4         0.2  setosa
2          4.9         3.0          1.4         0.2  setosa
3          4.7         3.2          1.3         0.2  setosa
4          4.6         3.1          1.5         0.2  setosa
5          5.0         3.6          1.4         0.2  setosa
6          5.4         3.9          1.7         0.4  setosa

Here is an article over at Statology called A Complete Guide to the Iris Dataset in R.

If you are working with Python, there is a post I have here at this site called The Iris Dataset in Python.
