sklearn.datasets.make_moons

sklearn.datasets.make_moons(n_samples=100, *, shuffle=True, noise=None, random_state=None)

Make two interleaving half circles.

A simple toy dataset to visualize clustering and classification algorithms. Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters:

n_samplesint or tuple of shape (2,), dtype=int, default=100

If int, the total number of points generated. If two-element tuple, number of points in each of two moons.

Changed in version 0.23: Added two-element tuple.

shufflebool, default=True

Whether to shuffle the samples.

noisefloat, default=None

Standard deviation of Gaussian noise added to the data.

random_stateint, RandomState instance or None, default=None

Determines random number generation for dataset shuffling and noise. Pass an int for reproducible output across multiple function calls. See Glossary.

Returns:

Xndarray of shape (n_samples, 2)

The generated samples.

yndarray of shape (n_samples,)

The integer labels (0 or 1) for class membership of each sample.
