4. Relevant Information Paragraph:
   Extraction was done by Barry Becker from the 1994 Census database.  A set
    of reasonably clean records was extracted using the following conditions:
    ((AAGE>16) && (AGI>100) && (AFNLWGT>1)&& (HRSWK>0))

5. Number of Instances
   48842 instances, mix of continuous and discrete    (train=32561, test=16281)
   45222 if instances with unknown values are removed (train=30162, test=15060)
   Split into train-test using MLC++ GenCVFiles (2/3, 1/3 random).
