Example

A car dataset consists of 3 entries:

  1. Car A
  2. Car B
  3. Car C

For each of those cars the dataset includes information about the attributes:

  1. length
  2. weight
  3. color

The car names together with the attributes represent one dataset. A database can consist of several datasets. The car dataset could look like this:

name length[m] weight[kg] color
Car A 4.5 1234 blue
Car B 3.2 879 red
Car C 5.0 1000 blue


Terminology questions

  • What is an experiment? Do we have to re-define the term 'experiment', or distinguish various modalities in using the term?

  • In order to avoid confusion I changed the given example of a dataset. It was not a well chosen example.
