<dd><p>Return the path of the scikit-learn data dir.</p>
<p>This folder is used by some large dataset loaders to avoid
downloading the data several times.</p>
<p>By default the data dir is set to a folder named ‘scikit_learn_data’
in the user home folder.</p>
<p>Alternatively, it can be set by the ‘SCIKIT_LEARN_DATA’ environment
variable or programmatically by giving an explicit folder path. The
‘~’ symbol is expanded to the user home folder.</p>
<p>If the folder does not already exist, it is automatically created.</p>
