#' Bodyfat
#'
#' The response (`y`) corresponds to
#' estimates of percentage of body fat from application of
#' Siri's 1956 equation to measurements of underwater weighing, as well as
#' age, weight, height, and a variety of
#' body circumference measurements.

#' Abalone
#'
#' This data set contains observations of abalones, the common
#' name for any of a group of sea snails. The goal is to predict the
#' age of an individual abalone given physical measurements such as
#' sex, weight, and height.
#'
#' Only a stratified sample of 211 rows of the original data set are used here.

#' Heart disease
#'
#' Diagnostic attributes of patients classified as having heart disease or not.
#'
#' @section Preprocessing:
#' The original dataset contained 13 variables. The nominal of these were
#' dummycoded, removing the first category. No precise information regarding
#' variables `chest_pain`, `thal` and `ecg` could be found, which explains
#' their obscure definitions here.
#'
#' @format 270 observations from 17 variables represented as a list consisting
#' of a binary factor response vector `y`,
#' with levels 'absence' and 'presence' indicating the absence or presence of
#' heart disease and `x`: a sparse feature matrix of class 'dgCMatrix' with the
#' following variables:
#' \describe{
#'   \item{age}{age}

#' Student performance
#'
#' A data set of the attributes of 382 students in secondary education
#' collected from two schools. The goal is to predict the
#' grade in math and Portugese at the end of the third period. See the
#' cited sources for additional information.
#'
#' @section Preprocessing:
#' All of the grade-specific predictors were dropped from the data set.
#' (Note that it is not clear from the source why some of these predictors are
#' specific to each grade, such as which parent is the student's guardian.)
#' The categorical variables were dummy-coded. Only the final grades (G3)
#' were kept as dependent variables, whilst the
#' first and second period grades were dropped.
#'
#' @format 382 observations from 13 variables represented as a list consisting
#' of a binary factor response matrix `y` with two responses: `portugese` and
#' `math` for the final scores in period three for the respective subjects.
#' The list also contains `x`: a sparse feature matrix of class
#' 'dgCMatrix' with the following variables:
#' \describe{
#'   \item{school_ms}{student's primary school, 1 for Mousinho da Silveira and 0
#'         for Gabriel Pereira}
