//! Forest Cover Type dataset.
//!
//! The Forest CoverType dataset for multi-class classification, identical to the
//! one scikit-learn exposes through `fetch_covtype`. Each of the 581,012 samples
//! describes a 30×30 metre cell of wilderness in the Roosevelt National Forest of
//! northern Colorado, and the task is to predict which of seven forest cover types
//! the cell belongs to from 54 cartographic features.
//!
//! **Features (54):** these encode 12 logical attributes (10 numeric + 2
//! categorical), with the two categorical attributes already **one-hot expanded**.
//! By 0-based column index:
//! - cols `0..=9` — 10 distinct quantitative variables: `Elevation`, `Aspect`,
//!   `Slope`, `Horizontal_Distance_To_Hydrology`, `Vertical_Distance_To_Hydrology`,
//!   `Horizontal_Distance_To_Roadways`, `Hillshade_9am`, `Hillshade_Noon`,
//!   `Hillshade_3pm`, `Horizontal_Distance_To_Fire_Points`
//! - cols `10..=13` — `Wilderness_Area`: **one** categorical attribute (4 areas)
//!   one-hot encoded, so exactly one of these columns is `1` and the rest are `0`
//! - cols `14..=53` — `Soil_Type`: **one** categorical attribute (40 soil types)
//!   one-hot encoded, so exactly one of these columns is `1` and the rest are `0`
//!
//! All 54 are stored as `f64` (the one-hot columns hold `0.0`/`1.0`), so each
//! one-hot block sums to `1` per row. See the struct docs for a per-column table.
//!
//! **Target:** `cover_type` - the forest cover type, one of `1`–`7` (stored as
//! `u8`): `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 metre cell of the Roosevelt National Forest in northern
/// Colorado. The 54 features combine 10 quantitative measurements (elevation,
/// slope, distances to hydrology/roadways/fire points, hillshade indices) with two
/// one-hot blocks: 4 `Wilderness_Area` columns and 40 `Soil_Type` columns. The
/// target is the forest cover type (`1`–`7`).
///
/// This is the same data scikit-learn exposes through `fetch_covtype`.
///
/// # Feature columns
///
/// The 54 feature columns are **not** 54 independent variables: they encode 12
/// logical attributes (10 numeric + 2 categorical), where the two categorical
/// attributes are already **one-hot expanded** into many binary indicator columns.
/// By 0-based column index in the feature matrix:
///
/// | Columns   | Attribute(s)                                  | Encoding                                   |
/// |-----------|-----------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------|
/// | `0`       | `Elevation`                                   | quantitative (metres)                      |
/// | `1`       | `Aspect`                                      | quantitative (azimuth degrees)             |
/// | `2`       | `Slope`                                       | quantitative (degrees)                     |

/// | `6`       | `Hillshade_9am`                               | quantitative (`0..=255`)                   |
/// | `7`       | `Hillshade_Noon`                              | quantitative (`0..=255`)                   |
/// | `8`       | `Hillshade_3pm`                               | quantitative (`0..=255`)                   |
/// | `9`       | `Horizontal_Distance_To_Fire_Points`          | quantitative                               |
/// | `10..=13` | `Wilderness_Area` (one attribute, 4 areas)    | one-hot: exactly one column is `1`, rest `0` |
/// | `14..=53` | `Soil_Type` (one attribute, 40 soil types)    | one-hot: exactly one column is `1`, rest `0` |
///
/// So columns `0..=9` are ten distinct numeric features, but columns `10..=13`
/// jointly answer "which of 4 wilderness areas" and columns `14..=53` jointly

/// # Labels
///
/// - cover type (in `u8`): `1` = Spruce/Fir, `2` = Lodgepole Pine,
