"""California housing dataset.
The original database is available from StatLib
http://lib.stat.cmu.edu/datasets/
The data contains 20,640 observations on 9 variables.
This dataset contains the average house value as target variable
and the following input variables (features): average income,
housing average age, average rooms, average bedrooms, population,
average occupation, latitude, and longitude in that order.

Parameters
----------
data_home : optional, default: None
Specify another download and cache folder for the datasets. By default
all scikit-learn data is stored in '~/scikit_learn_data' subfolders.
download_if_missing : optional, default=True
If False, raise a IOError if the data is not locally available
instead of trying to download the data from the source site.
return_X_y : boolean, default=False.
If True, returns ``(data.data, data.target)`` instead of a Bunch
object.
.. versionadded:: 0.20
Returns
-------
dataset : dict-like object with the following attributes:
dataset.data : ndarray, shape [20640, 8]
Each row corresponding to the 8 feature values in order.
dataset.target : numpy array of shape (20640,)
Each value corresponds to the average house value in units of 100,000.
dataset.feature_names : array of length 8
Array of ordered feature names used in the dataset.
dataset.DESCR : string
Description of the California housing dataset.
(data, target) : tuple if ``return_X_y`` is True
.. versionadded:: 0.20
Notes
-----
This dataset consists of 20,640 samples and 9 features.
