Description

Currently, the features in the Wisconsin Prognostic Breast Cancer dataset do not have names.

The (I think) corresponding dataset on OpenML or even Kaggle seem to have this information. It would be helpful for these feature names to be added.

Research direction
This issue involves adding feature names to the Wisconsin dataset in the PMLB repository. Compare the dataset's current anonymous features with the named features on OpenML (ID 191) or Kaggle to create a mapping. Then update the dataset file (likely a CSV) to include a header row with the feature names. Check if other datasets in the repo have similar name files for reference.
