//! Adult / Census Income dataset.
//!
//! Census records from the 1994 US Census database, extracted by Barry Becker.
//! The task is to predict if a person's income is over $50K a year. This loader
//! uses the canonical `adult.data` training partition: 32,561 records. The
//! separate `adult.test` partition is not bundled. It has a non-data header
//! line and trailing periods on its labels.
//!
//! **Features (14, mixed):**
//! - String features (8): `workclass`, `education`, `marital-status`,
//!   `occupation`, `relationship`, `race`, `sex`, `native-country`
//! - Numeric features (6): `age`, `fnlwgt`, `education-num`, `capital-gain`,
//!   `capital-loss`, `hours-per-week`
//!
//! **Target:** `income`. This binary label is kept verbatim (`<=50K` or `>50K`).
//!
//! **Samples:** 32,561
//! **Application:** Binary classification / income prediction
//!
//! **Source:** UCI Machine Learning Repository
//! <https://archive.ics.uci.edu/dataset/2/adult>

///
/// Barry Becker extracted the Adult dataset (also called "Census Income") from
/// the 1994 US Census database. The prediction task is to determine whether a
/// person earns over $50,000 a year from 14 demographic and employment attributes.
/// It is a standard benchmark for mixed categorical/numeric classification.
///
/// # Feature columns
///
/// The loader splits features across two matrices: a `(32561, 8)` string matrix
/// and a `(32561, 6)` numeric `f64` matrix.
///
/// String features (`Array2<String>`), by 0-based column:
///
/// | Column | Attribute        |
/// |--------|------------------|
/// | `0`    | `workclass`      |
/// | `1`    | `education`      |
/// | `2`    | `marital-status` |
/// | `3`    | `occupation`     |
/// | `4`    | `relationship`   |
/// | `5`    | `race`           |
/// | `6`    | `sex`            |
/// | `7`    | `native-country` |
///
/// Numeric features (`Array2<f64>`), by 0-based column:
///
/// | Column | Attribute        | Unit          |
/// |--------|------------------|---------------|
/// | `0`    | `age`            | years         |
/// | `1`    | `fnlwgt`         | sampling weight |
/// | `2`    | `education-num`  |               |
/// | `3`    | `capital-gain`   | USD           |
/// | `4`    | `capital-loss`   | USD           |
/// | `5`    | `hours-per-week` | hours         |
///
/// # Labels
///
/// - `income` (shape `(32561,)`). The `Array1<String>` holds `<=50K` or `>50K`
///   verbatim.
///
/// Missing values:
/// - The source marks missing categorical values with `?` (in `workclass`,
///   `occupation`, and `native-country`). These values are mapped to empty
///   strings `""`.
/// - The numeric features have no missing values.

/// // `get_data()` borrows the cached arrays without a reload. `get_data_mut()`
