R Programming On Abalone Dataset

1) The document discusses using the abalone dataset to predict the age of abalone from characteristics like height, diameter, length, and weight measurements using R. 2) The abalone dataset contains 4,177 observations with 9 variables including sex, length, diameter, height, weight, and age. 3) Various analytical methods are applied to the data including importing into R, dividing into training and test sets, calculating mean age, and creating graphs to analyze relationships between variables like shell weight and age.

Abalone Dataset

The original stated problem is estimating the age an


abalone, which can be determined from the number of rings
in their shell. However, counting the number of rings in an
abalone shell is an expensive method. Thus, one possible
solution is predicting the number of rings of an abalone
from characteristics like height, diameter, length and
weight measurements.

Secondary Data

Secondary data which refers to data, which is gathered by a


secondary party, other than the user himself. Common sources
of secondary data for social science include statements, data
collected by government agencies, organisational documents
and data that was basically collected for other research
objectives.

Analytical Methods Used
1. Import the Abalone data in R. 2. What are the dimensions of the dataset?

3. Create a data frame from the imported dataset having


the columns length, Diameter, height and weight and age
only.

5. Calculate the mean age of the abalone


and print it.

7. What is the average age for the Male Abalone and
Female Abalone? Also show using the graph?

8. Which attribute shows strong dependence for the


prediction of Abalone Age? How can you say that?

Rings are the attribute that shows strong dependence


for the prediction of abalone age.
