MetaData#

class scipy.io.arff.MetaData(rel, attr)[source]#

Small container to keep useful information on a ARFF dataset.

Knows about attributes names and types.

Methods

names()

Return the list of attribute names.

types()

Return the list of attribute types.

Notes

Also maintains the list of attributes in order, i.e., doing for i in meta, where meta is an instance of MetaData, will return the different attribute names in the order they were defined.

Examples

data, meta = loadarff('iris.arff')
# This will print the attributes names of the iris.arff dataset
for i in meta:
    print(i)
# This works too
meta.names()
# Getting attribute type
types = meta.types()
