Forest covertypes
|
|||
|
|
-----------------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The samples in this dataset correspond to 30×30m patches of forest in the US,
|
|||
|
|
collected for the task of predicting each patch's cover type,
|
|||
|
|
i.e. the dominant species of tree.
|
|||
|
|
There are seven covertypes, making this a multiclass classification problem.
|
|||
|
|
Each sample has 54 features, described on the
|
|||
|
|
`dataset's homepage <https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets/Covertype>`__.
|
|||
|
|
Some of the features are boolean indicators,
|
|||
|
|
while others are discrete or continuous measurements.

|||

:func:`sklearn.datasets.fetch_covtype` will load the covertype dataset;
|
|||
|
|
it returns a dictionary-like 'Bunch' object
|
|||
|
|
with the feature matrix in the ``data`` member
|
|||
|
|
and the target values in ``target``. If optional argument 'as_frame' is
|
|||
|
|
set to 'True', it will return ``data`` and ``target`` as pandas
|
|||
|
|
data frame, and there will be an additional member ``frame`` as well.
|
|||
|
|
The dataset will be downloaded from the web if necessary.
