    """Generate a random n-class classification problem.

    This initially creates clusters of points normally distributed (std=1)
    about vertices of an ``n_informative``-dimensional hypercube with sides of
    length ``2*class_sep`` and assigns an equal number of clusters to each
    class. It introduces interdependence between these features and adds
    various types of further noise to the data.

    Without shuffling, ``X`` horizontally stacks features in the following
    order: the primary ``n_informative`` features, followed by ``n_redundant``
    linear combinations of the informative features, followed by ``n_repeated``
    duplicates, drawn randomly with replacement from the informative and
    redundant features. The remaining features are filled with random noise.
    Thus, without shuffling, all useful features are contained in the columns
    ``X[:, :n_informative + n_redundant + n_repeated]``.

    Read more in the :ref:`User Guide <sample_generators>`.

    Parameters
    ----------
    n_samples : int, optional (default=100)
        The number of samples.

    n_features : int, optional (default=20)
        The total number of features. These comprise ``n_informative``
        informative features, ``n_redundant`` redundant features,
        ``n_repeated`` duplicated features and
        ``n_features-n_informative-n_redundant-n_repeated`` useless features
        drawn at random.

    n_informative : int, optional (default=2)
        The number of informative features. Each class is composed of a number
        of gaussian clusters each located around the vertices of a hypercube
        in a subspace of dimension ``n_informative``. For each cluster,
        informative features are drawn independently from  N(0, 1) and then
        randomly linearly combined within each cluster in order to add
        covariance. The clusters are then placed on the vertices of the
        hypercube.

    n_redundant : int, optional (default=2)
        The number of redundant features. These features are generated as
        random linear combinations of the informative features.

    n_repeated : int, optional (default=0)
        The number of duplicated features, drawn randomly from the informative
        and the redundant features.

    n_classes : int, optional (default=2)
        The number of classes (or labels) of the classification problem.

    n_clusters_per_class : int, optional (default=2)
        The number of clusters per class.

    weights : list of floats or None (default=None)
        The proportions of samples assigned to each class. If None, then
        classes are balanced. Note that if ``len(weights) == n_classes - 1``,
        then the last class weight is automatically inferred.
        More than ``n_samples`` samples may be returned if the sum of
        ``weights`` exceeds 1.

    flip_y : float, optional (default=0.01)
        The fraction of samples whose class are randomly exchanged. Larger
        values introduce noise in the labels and make the classification
        task harder.

    class_sep : float, optional (default=1.0)
        The factor multiplying the hypercube size.  Larger values spread
        out the clusters/classes and make the classification task easier.

    hypercube : boolean, optional (default=True)
        If True, the clusters are put on the vertices of a hypercube. If
        False, the clusters are put on the vertices of a random polytope.

    shift : float, array of shape [n_features] or None, optional (default=0.0)
        Shift features by the specified value. If None, then features
        are shifted by a random value drawn in [-class_sep, class_sep].

    scale : float, array of shape [n_features] or None, optional (default=1.0)
        Multiply features by the specified value. If None, then features
        are scaled by a random value drawn in [1, 100]. Note that scaling
        happens after shifting.

    shuffle : boolean, optional (default=True)
        Shuffle the samples and the features.

    random_state : int, RandomState instance or None (default)
        Determines random number generation for dataset creation. Pass an int
        for reproducible output across multiple function calls.
        See :term:`Glossary <random_state>`.

    Returns
    -------
    X : array of shape [n_samples, n_features]
        The generated samples.

    y : array of shape [n_samples]
        The integer labels for class membership of each sample.

    Notes
    -----
    The algorithm is adapted from Guyon [1] and was designed to generate
    the "Madelon" dataset.

    For each sample, the generative process is:

        - pick the document length: k ~ Poisson(length)

    is never zero. Likewise, we reject classes which have already been chosen.

        The sum of the features (number of words if documents) is drawn from
        a Poisson distribution with this expected value.

           parameter to allow *sparse* output.

        If ``dense`` return ``Y`` in the dense binary indicator format. If
        ``'sparse'`` return ``Y`` in the sparse binary indicator format.
        ``False`` returns a list of lists of labels.

    return_distributions : bool, optional (default=False)
        If ``True``, return the prior class probability and conditional
        probabilities of features given classes, from which the data was
        drawn.
