A data frame with 18 observations on 8 variables:
| [ , "V1"] | factor | winters |
| [ , "V2"] | factor | shadow |
| [ , "V3"] | factor | tubers |
| [ , "V4"] | factor | color |
| [ , "V5"] | ordered | soil |
| [ , "V6"] | ordered | preference |
| [ , "V7"] | numeric | height |
| [ , "V8"] | numeric | distance |
winters, is binary and indicates whether the plant may be left in the garden when it freezes.
shadow, is binary and shows whether the plant needs to stand in the shadow.
tubers, is asymmetric binary and distinguishes between plants with tubers and plants that grow in any other way.
