This *beginner* level data set has 100 rows and 10 columns.
The data set includes semen sample of 100 volunteers, analyzed according to the WHO 2010 criteria.
This data set can be used to determine if it is possible to reach a diagnosis without a laboratory approach, which include expensive tests, sometime uncomfortable for the patients.
Sperm concentration are related to socio-demographic data, environmental factors, health status, and life habits. Thes eattributes can be taken easily using a questionnaire.

This data set is recommended for learning and practicing your skills in **exploratory data analysis**, **data visualization**, and **regression/classification modelling techniques**. 
Feel free to explore the data set with multiple **supervised** and **unsupervised** learning techniques. The Following data dictionary gives more details on this data set:
