"""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.
