<h2>The Discretized Painter's Data of de Piles</h2>

<h3>Description</h3>


<p>The original painters data contain the subjective assessment, 
on a 0 to 20 integer scale, of 54 classical painters. The
newpainters data discretizes the subjective assessment by
quartiles with thresholds 25%, 50%, 75%. The painters were 
assessed on four characteristics: composition, drawing, 
colour and expression.  The data is due to the Eighteenth century 
art critic, de Piles.
