//! Palmer Penguins dataset.
//!
//! Size measurements for three penguin species, observed on three islands in
//! the Palmer Archipelago, Antarctica. This is a beginner-friendly alternative
//! to Iris for multi-class classification. It has both numeric and categorical
//! features, and some values are missing.
//!
//! **Features (7, mixed):**
//! - String features: `island`, `sex`
//! - Numeric features: `bill_length_mm`, `bill_depth_mm`, `flipper_length_mm`,
//!   `body_mass_g`, `year`
//!
//! **Target:** `species` - one of `Adelie`, `Chinstrap`, or `Gentoo`
//!
//! **Samples:** 344 total (152 Adelie, 68 Chinstrap, 124 Gentoo)
//! **Application:** Multi-class classification / species recognition
//!
//! **Missing values:** the source encodes them as the literal string `NA`.
//! Numeric fields become `NaN`. String fields become empty strings. `species`
//! is never missing.
//!
//! **Source:** Horst AM, Hill AP, Gorman KB (2020). palmerpenguins R package.

///
/// Dr. Kristen Gorman and the Palmer Station Long Term Ecological Research (LTER)

/// and Gentoo. Researchers observed the penguins on three islands in the Palmer
/// Archipelago, Antarctica: Biscoe, Dream, and Torgersen. It is a popular,
/// beginner-friendly alternative to the Iris dataset.
///
/// # Feature columns
///
/// The loader splits features across two matrices: a string (categorical) matrix
/// of shape `(344, 2)` and a numeric matrix of shape `(344, 5)`. The source
/// encodes missing values as the literal token `NA`. Numeric cells become `NaN`,
/// and string cells become empty strings (`""`).
///
/// String features (shape `(344, 2)`), in column order:
///
/// | Columns | Attributes | Unit |
/// |---------|------------|------|
/// | `0`     | `island` (Biscoe, Dream, or Torgersen). Empty string if missing. | |
/// | `1`     | `sex` (male or female). Empty string if missing. | |
///
/// Numeric features (shape `(344, 5)`), in column order (may be `NaN` if missing
/// in the source):
///
/// | Columns | Attributes | Unit |
/// |---------|------------|------|
/// | `0`     | `bill_length_mm` | mm |
/// | `1`     | `bill_depth_mm` | mm |
/// | `2`     | `flipper_length_mm` | mm |
/// | `3`     | `body_mass_g` | g |
/// | `4`     | `year` (the study year: 2007, 2008, or 2009) | |
///
/// # Labels
///
/// - `species` (shape `(344,)`, in `&str`): `"Adelie"`, `"Chinstrap"`, `"Gentoo"`
///
