[ , "V2"] | factor | shadow |
[ , "V3"] | factor | tubers |
[ , "V4"] | factor | color |
[ , "V5"] | ordered | soil |
[ , "V6"] | ordered | preference |
[ , "V7"] | numeric | height |
[ , "V8"] | numeric | distance
|
- V1
winters, is binary and indicates whether the plant may be left
in the garden when it freezes.
- V2
shadow, is binary and shows whether the plant needs to stand
in the shadow.
- V3
tubers, is asymmetric binary and distinguishes between plants
with tubers and plants that grow in any other way.
