LDA Example Data: Rockhoppers #59
Description
The iris data for LDA / classification is overused and typically mis-applied [1].
Let's use a new data set for our LDA examples and include it in the package. Steinfurth et al. have a paper on classifying penguins by sex using various body measurements [2] which seems like it would make a great example.
Idea from [3]; see also [4-5].
