//! Forest Cover Type dataset.
//!
//! The Forest CoverType dataset supports multi-class classification. It matches
//! the dataset that scikit-learn exposes through `fetch_covtype`. Each of the
//! 581,012 samples describes a 30×30 meter cell of wilderness in the Roosevelt
//! National Forest of northern Colorado. The task is to predict the forest cover
//! type of the cell, one of seven classes, from 54 cartographic features.
//!
//! **Columns (55):**
//!
//! | Name                                        | Type      | Description                                                            |
//! |---------------------------------------------|-----------|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
//! | `Elevation`                                 | `Numeric` | elevation in meters                                                    |
//! | `Aspect`                                    | `Numeric` | aspect in azimuth degrees                                              |
//! | `Slope`                                     | `Numeric` | slope in degrees                                                       |
//! | `Horizontal_Distance_To_Hydrology`          | `Numeric` | horizontal distance to the nearest surface water                       |
//! | `Vertical_Distance_To_Hydrology`            | `Numeric` | vertical distance to the nearest surface water, which can be negative  |
//! | `Horizontal_Distance_To_Roadways`           | `Numeric` | horizontal distance to the nearest roadway                             |
//! | `Hillshade_9am`                             | `Numeric` | hillshade index at 9am, in `0..=255`                                   |
//! | `Hillshade_Noon`                            | `Numeric` | hillshade index at noon, in `0..=255`                                  |
//! | `Hillshade_3pm`                             | `Numeric` | hillshade index at 3pm, in `0..=255`                                   |
//! | `Horizontal_Distance_To_Fire_Points`        | `Numeric` | horizontal distance to the nearest wildfire ignition point             |
//! | `Wilderness_Area_0` to `Wilderness_Area_3`  | `Numeric` | one-hot block of 4 columns for the wilderness area, exactly one column holds `1.0` |
//! | `Soil_Type_0` to `Soil_Type_39`             | `Numeric` | one-hot block of 40 columns for the soil type, exactly one column holds `1.0` |
//! | `Cover_Type`                                | `Integer` | the forest cover type, one of `1`-`7`                                  |
//!
//! The source designates the 54 cartographic columns as the inputs
//! ([`Covtype::FEATURE_NAMES`](crate::Covtype::FEATURE_NAMES)) and `Cover_Type` as the label
//! ([`Covtype::TARGET`](crate::Covtype::TARGET)).
//!
//! The 54 feature columns encode 12 logical attributes. Ten of them are
//! quantitative, and two of them are categorical. The source ships the two
//! categorical attributes **one-hot expanded**, so each one-hot block sums to
//! `1` per row.
//!
//! The `Cover_Type` codes run from `1` to `7`.
//! [`Covtype::CLASS_NAMES`](crate::Covtype::CLASS_NAMES) names each class:
//!
//! - `1` = Spruce/Fir
//! - `2` = Lodgepole Pine
//! - `3` = Ponderosa Pine
//! - `4` = Cottonwood/Willow
//! - `5` = Aspen
//! - `6` = Douglas-fir
//! - `7` = Krummholz
//!
//! **Samples:** 581,012 total
//! **Application:** Multi-class classification / forest cover type prediction
//!
//! **Source:** UCI Machine Learning Repository, via the gzip-compressed
//! `covtype.data.gz` mirror that scikit-learn's `fetch_covtype` downloads.

/// # About Dataset
///
/// The Forest CoverType dataset contains 581,012 cartographic samples, each
/// describing a 30×30 meter cell of the Roosevelt National Forest in northern
/// Colorado. The 54 features combine 10 quantitative measurements (elevation,
/// slope, distances to hydrology, roadways, and fire points, and hillshade
/// indices) with two one-hot blocks. The one-hot blocks are 4 `Wilderness_Area`
/// columns and 40 `Soil_Type` columns. The target is the forest cover type
/// (`1`-`7`).
///
/// This is the same data that scikit-learn exposes through `fetch_covtype`.
