\title{Abalone Dataset (iGAP Format)}
\format{
A data frame with 24 observations (e.g., F-10-12, M-4-6) and
7 character columns in iGAP format (comma-separated \code{"min, max"} strings):
\itemize{
    \item \code{Length}: Shell length range.
    \item \code{Diameter}: Shell diameter range.
    \item \code{Height}: Shell height range.
    \item \code{Whole}: Whole weight range.
    \item \code{Shucked}: Shucked weight range.
    \item \code{Viscera}: Viscera weight range.
    \item \code{Shell}: Shell weight range.
}
Row names encode Sex-AgeGroup (e.g., F-10-12 = Female age 10--12).
