sklearn.datasets.fetch_covtype(data_home=None, download_if_missing=True, random_state=None, shuffle=False) [source]

Load the covertype dataset, downloading it if necessary.

Parameters:

data_home : string, optional Specify another download and cache folder for the datasets. By default all scikit-learn data is stored in ‘~/scikit_learn_data’ subfolders. download_if_missing : boolean, default=True If False, raise a IOError if the data is not locally available instead of trying to download the data from the source site. random_state : int, RandomState instance or None, optional (default=None) Random state for shuffling the dataset. If int, random_state is the seed used by the random number generator; If RandomState instance, random_state is the random number generator; If None, the random number generator is the RandomState instance used by np.random. shuffle : bool, default=False Whether to shuffle dataset.

Returns:

dataset : dict-like object with the following attributes: dataset.data : numpy array of shape (581012, 54) Each row corresponds to the 54 features in the dataset. dataset.target : numpy array of shape (581012,) Each value corresponds to one of the 7 forest covertypes with values ranging between 1 to 7. dataset.DESCR : string Description of the forest covertype dataset.
