These data are used in the book "Computational Statistics" by G.H. Givens and J.A. Hoeting. Name: face-recognition.dat Chapter: 2, 12 Discussed in: Example 2.5, Problem 12.4 Source: Geof Givens and Ross Beveridge, Colorado State University Description: These data arise from the evaluation of a human face recognition algorithm. Details of the experiment are given in the text. The variables relate to pairs of images of the same person, one of which is the probe image. The response variable is "match", with match=1 indicating that the probe image was correctly matched to the other image of the same person and match=0 indicating that the probe was incorrectly matched to an image of someone else. These predictors include a measure of pixel intensity differences in the eye region (eyediff) and in the nose/cheek region (nosecheekdiff), and a measure of comparative pixel intensity variability between the two images of the same person (variabilityratio). ** Note: these data are slightly different than the dataset used in the book example, but the result should be very close. Variable labels: match, eyediff, nosecheekdiff, variabilityratio
