How to create my own datasets using in scikit-lear

问题:

I want to create my own datasets, and use it in scikit-learn. Scikit-learn has some datasets like 'The Boston Housing Dataset' (.csv), user can use it by:

from sklearn import datasets 
boston = datasets.load_boston()

and codes below can get the data and target of this dataset:

X = boston.data
y = boston.target

The question is how to create my own dataset and can be used in that way? Any answers is appreciated, Thanks!

Here's a quick and dirty way to achieve what you intend:

my_datasets.py

import numpy as np
import csv
from sklearn.datasets.base import Bunch

def load_my_fancy_dataset():
    with open('my_fancy_dataset.csv') as csv_file:
        data_file = csv.reader(csv_file)
        temp = next(data_file)
        n_samples = int(temp[0])
        n_features = int(temp[1])
        data = np.empty((n_samples, n_features))
        target = np.empty((n_samples,), dtype=np.int)

        for i, sample in enumerate(data_file):
            data[i] = np.asarray(sample[:-1], dtype=np.float64)
            target[i] = np.asarray(sample[-1], dtype=np.int)

    return Bunch(data=data, target=target)

my_fancy_dataset.csv

5,3,first_feat,second_feat,third_feat
5.9,1203,0.69,2
7.2,902,0.52,0
6.3,143,0.44,1
-2.6,291,0.15,1
1.8,486,0.37,0

Demo

In [12]: import my_datasets

In [13]: mfd = my_datasets.load_my_fancy_dataset()

In [14]: X = mfd.data

In [15]: y = mfd.target

In [16]: X
Out[16]: 
array([[  5.90000000e+00,   1.20300000e+03,   6.90000000e-01],
       [  7.20000000e+00,   9.02000000e+02,   5.20000000e-01],
       [  6.30000000e+00,   1.43000000e+02,   4.40000000e-01],
       [ -2.60000000e+00,   2.91000000e+02,   1.50000000e-01],
       [  1.80000000e+00,   4.86000000e+02,   3.70000000e-01]])

In [17]: y
Out[17]: array([2, 0, 1, 1, 0])
