    This helper is in charge of the following steps:

    - Ensure that `sample_weight` is an array or `None`.

    - Perform copies if requested to avoid side-effects in case of inplace
      modifications of the input.

    follows:
        - if `X` is dense, center the data and
        store the mean vector in `X_offset`.

        - both `X_offset` and `y_offset` are always weighted by `sample_weight`

    n_jobs : int, default=None

        speedup in case of sufficiently large problems, that is if firstly
        `n_targets > 1` and secondly `X` is sparse or if `positive` is set

        If multiple targets are passed during the fit (y 2D), this
        is a 2D array of shape (n_targets, n_features), while if only
        one target is passed, this is a 1D array of length n_features.

    rank_ : int
        Rank of matrix `X`. Only available when `X` is dense.

    singular_ : array of shape (min(X, y),)
        Singular values of `X`. Only available when `X` is dense.

    intercept_ : float or array of shape (n_targets,)
        Independent term in the linear model. Set to 0.0 if
        `fit_intercept = False`.

    n_features_in_ : int
        Number of features seen during :term:`fit`.

        .. versionadded:: 0.24

    feature_names_in_ : ndarray of shape (`n_features_in_`,)
        Names of features seen during :term:`fit`. Defined only when `X`
        has feature names that are all strings.

    ----------

        User-supplied gram matrix.
