Preprocessing description:
Data was originally listed as three separate datasets within the Palmer Station Long-Term Ecological Research (PAL-LTER) data system. Each of these separate datasets corresponds to one of the three species of penguin: Adélie (152 penguins), Gentoo (124 penguins), and Chinstrap (68 penguins). They were combined into the single Palmer penguins dataset (152+124+68 = 344 penguins).
