sklearn.datasets.make_gaussian_quantiles(*, mean=None, cov=1.0, n_samples=100, n_features=2, n_classes=3, shuffle=True, random_state=None)[source]¶ Generate isotropic Gaussian and label samples by quantile
This classification dataset is constructed by taking a multi-dimensional standard normal distribution and defining classes separated by nested concentric multi-dimensional spheres such that roughly equal numbers of samples are in each class (quantiles of the \(\chi^2\) distribution).
Read more in the User Guide.
- Parameters
- meanarray of shape [n_features], optional (default=None)
The mean of the multi-dimensional normal distribution. If None then use the origin (0, 0, …).
- covfloat, optional (default=1.)
The covariance matrix will be this value times the unit matrix. This dataset only produces symmetric normal distributions.
- n_samplesint, optional (default=100)
The total number of points equally divided among classes.
- n_featuresint, optional (default=2)
The number of features for each sample.
- n_classesint, optional (default=3)
The number of classes
- shuffleboolean, optional (default=True)
Shuffle the samples.
- random_stateint, RandomState instance, default=None
Determines random number generation for dataset creation. Pass an int for reproducible output across multiple function calls. See Glossary.
- Returns
- Xarray of shape [n_samples, n_features]
The generated samples.
- yarray of shape [n_samples]
The integer labels for quantile membership of each sample.
Notes
The dataset is from Zhu et al [1].
