UCI Machine Learning Repository YearPredictionMSD Data Set

[Stephen Young]

Greetings,

I am a student in my fourth year at the Unviersity of Guelph. I have downloaded the YearPredictionMSD Data Set from the UCI Machine Learning Repository, intending to use it in a project in multivariate statistics. The site (http://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets/YearPredictionMSD) says there are 90 attributes, which I did download correctly, but I cannot find a list of what each of these attributes are, only timber average and covariance. Would I be able to get a list of each of these attributes?

It is possible I am misunderstanding what I am looking at. I see a year in each row, followed by 90 numbers, which I assume are 90 different variables based on the music. If I am incorrect, please correct me.

Thank you,

Stephen Young

Hi Stephen,

A song can be represented (among many other ways) by a matrix of timbre features from The Echo Nest, size 12 X N (N ~ length of the song). Details are in this document.

The 90 numbers you see are the 12 means and the covariance of those timbre features.
