//! Abalone dataset.

//!
//! **Features (8, mixed):**
//! - String feature (1): `sex` — `M` (male), `F` (female), or `I` (infant)
//! - Numeric features (7): `length`, `diameter`, `height` (mm); `whole_weight`,
//!   `shucked_weight`, `viscera_weight`, `shell_weight` (grams)
//!
//! **Target:** `rings` — integer ring count (age in years is `rings + 1.5`),

/// # About Dataset
///
/// The age of an abalone is determined by cutting the shell through the cone,
/// staining it, and counting the number of rings through a microscope — a boring
/// and time-consuming task. The goal is to predict the age from other
/// measurements that are easier to obtain. This loader exposes `rings` (the raw
/// ring count) as the regression target; the actual age in years is `rings + 1.5`.
/// It is a mixed-type **regression** dataset — the only categorical feature is
/// `sex` (`M`/`F`/`I`), the remaining seven are continuous measurements.
///
/// # Feature columns
///
/// Features are split across two matrices: a `(4177, 1)` string matrix and a
/// `(4177, 7)` numeric `f64` matrix.
///
/// String features (`Array2<String>`), by 0-based column:
///
/// | Column | Attribute | Values                                 |
/// |--------|-----------|----------------------------------------|
/// | `0`    | `sex`     | `M` (male), `F` (female), `I` (infant) |
///
/// Numeric features (`Array2<f64>`), by 0-based column:
///
/// | Column | Attribute         | Unit  |
/// |--------|-------------------|-------|
/// | `0`    | `length`          | mm    |
/// | `1`    | `diameter`        | mm    |
/// | `2`    | `height`          | mm    |
/// | `3`    | `whole_weight`    | grams |
/// | `4`    | `shucked_weight`  | grams |
/// | `5`    | `viscera_weight`  | grams |
/// | `6`    | `shell_weight`    | grams |
///
/// # Targets
///
/// - `rings` (shape `(4177,)`): the `Array1<f64>` regression target, the integer
///   ring count (`1`–`29`) stored as `f64`. The age in years is `rings + 1.5`.
///
/// The dataset has no missing values.
///
