Source : https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets/Iris Number of samples : 150 Class labels : {0, 1, 2}, distribution: [50, 50, 50] 0 = setosa, 1 = versicolor, 2 = virginica. Dataset Attributes: - 1) sepal length [cm] - 2) sepal width [cm] - 3) petal length [cm] - 4) petal width [cm] Parameters -------- version : string, optional (default: 'uci'). Version to use {'uci', 'corrected'}. 'uci' loads the dataset as deposited on the UCI machine learning repository, and 'corrected' provides the version that is consistent with Fisher's original paper. See Note for details. Returns -------- X, y : [n_samples, n_features], [n_class_labels] X is the feature matrix with 150 flower samples as rows, and 4 feature columns sepal length, sepal width, petal length, and petal width. y is a 1-dimensional array of the class labels {0, 1, 2} Note -------- The Iris dataset (originally collected by Edgar Anderson) and available in UCI's machine learning repository is different from the Iris dataset described in the original paper by R.A. Fisher [1]). Precisely, there are two data points (row number 34 and 37) in UCI's Machine Learning repository are different from the origianlly published Iris dataset. Also, the original version of the Iris Dataset, which can be loaded via `version='corrected'` is the same as the one in R. [1] . A. Fisher (1936).
