MatlabDataset

MatlabDataset loads and saves data to MATLAB files.

kedro_datasets.matlab.MatlabDataset

MatlabDataset(
    filepath,
    save_args=None,
    version=None,
    credentials=None,
    fs_args=None,
    metadata=None,
)

Bases: AbstractVersionedDataset[ndarray, ndarray]

MatlabDataSet loads and saves data from/to a MATLAB file using scipy.io.

Examples:

Using the YAML API:

cars:
  type: matlab.MatlabDataset
  filepath: gcs://your_bucket/cars.mat
  fs_args:
  project: my-project
  credentials: my_gcp_credentials

Using the Python API:

>>> import numpy as np
>>> from kedro_datasets.matlab import MatlabDataset
>>>
>>> data = np.array([1, 2, 3])
>>>
>>> dataset = MatlabDataset(filepath=tmp_path / "test.mat")
>>> dataset.save(data)
>>> reloaded = dataset.load()
>>> assert (data == reloaded["data"]).all()

Parameters:

  • filepath (str) –

    Filepath in POSIX format to a Matlab file prefixed with a protocol like s3://. If prefix is not provided, file protocol (local filesystem) will be used. The prefix should be any protocol supported by fsspec. Note: http(s) doesn't support versioning.

  • save_args (dict[str, Any] | None, default: None ) –

    .mat options for saving .mat files.

  • version (Version | None, default: None ) –

    If specified, should be an instance of kedro.io.core.Version. If its load attribute is None, the latest version will be loaded. If its save attribute is None, save version will be autogenerated.

  • credentials (dict[str, Any] | None, default: None ) –

    Credentials required to get access to the underlying filesystem. E.g. for GCSFileSystem it should look like {"token": None}.

  • fs_args (dict[str, Any] | None, default: None ) –

    Extra arguments to pass into underlying filesystem class constructor (e.g. {"project": "my-project"} for GCSFileSystem), as well as to pass to the filesystem's open method through nested keys open_args_load and open_args_save. Here you can find all available arguments for open: https://filesystem-spec.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#fsspec.spec.AbstractFileSystem.open All defaults are preserved, except mode, which is set to wb when saving.

  • metadata (dict[str, Any] | None, default: None ) –

    Any arbitrary metadata. This is ignored by Kedro, but may be consumed by users or external plugins.
