They can be loaded using the following functions: .. autosummary:: load_iris load_diabetes load_digits load_linnerud load_wine load_breast_cancer These datasets are useful to quickly illustrate the behavior of the various algorithms implemented in scikit-learn. They are however often too small to be representative of real world machine learning tasks. .. include:: ../../sklearn/datasets/descr/iris.rst .. include:: ../../sklearn/datasets/descr/diabetes.rst .. include:: ../../sklearn/datasets/descr/digits.rst .. include:: ../../sklearn/datasets/descr/linnerud.rst .. include:: ../../sklearn/datasets/descr/wine_data.rst .. include:: ../../sklearn/datasets/descr/breast_cancer.rst
