|
| Part of **TabBioMed** (*TabBioMed: A Large-Scale Benchmark for Biomedical Tabular Learning*), a benchmark of 94 curated biomedical |
| tabular datasets. Code, preprocessing and documentation: https://github.com/AI-sandbox/TabBioMed. |
|
|
| Normal (0; 55) versus abnormal (1; 212) cardiac SPECT, using 44 supplied rest/stress image summaries per patient. Remove 82 redundant PMLB copies; the 267 retained records exactly match the corrected UCI train/test union. Pool that cohort for benchmark CV rather than using the UCI 80/187 split. Use five stratified outer folds and three inner folds; fit imputation, encoding and scaling within training partitions. |

|
| **Splits.** 5 stored outer cross-validation folds (`data/fold_<i>/`), each with train/val/test files (fold 0: 186/27/54 rows). Every row appears in exactly one outer test fold. HPO in the paper uses inner folds drawn from each outer non-test pool. |

|
| ## Files |
|
|
| - `data/**.parquet`: one row per sample. `row_idx` is the row index in the original |
| TabBioMed array; `f_<i>[_<name>]` are the features (in order); `target` (or `target_<j>` |
| for multi-target tasks) is the label. Categorical feature indices (0-based, among the |
| features): `[]`. Missing values are stored as nulls. |
| - `metadata.json`: TabBioMed task metadata (task type, categorical indices, source, description). |
| - `feature_names.json`: original feature names, in column order. |
| - `sample_metadata.csv`: per-row provenance (identifiers, source annotations); not features. |
