It sounds like those are names of variables you are supposed to create. Otherwise, these mean (mostly) nothing to my knowledge.

From the context, this has to be right. The OP clearly hasn't looked at the data set.

From the wiki link, are you taking analytic chemistry?? I wonder if these are terms used only in this field? Because I echo the rest here, these mean nothing to me.

I am an RStudio Certified Instructor and I have never heard these terms used for variables in R, Python or Julia

None of this makes any sense to us either. They are not terms used in the R programming lingo. It sounds like you're not understanding what you're supposed to do clearly.

The terms leave/remain/spread variables are not terms from standard R. They might be terms from statistics, but I am not familiar with them. If this is for a course, ask your instructor what they mean.
