Appendix A. Five Medical Datasets

This appendix presents the test costs for five medical datasets, taken from the Irvine collection (Murphy & Aha, 1994). The costs are based on information from the Ontario Ministry of Health (1992). Although none of the medical data were gathered in Ontario, it is reasonable to assume that other areas have similar relative test costs. For our purposes, the relative costs are important, not the absolute costs.
