load_dataset

data.load_dataset(name, **conditions)

Open the dataset, load content into memory, and close its file handles.

Notes: This is a wrapper around open_dataset. The difference is that it loads the Dataset into memory, closes the file, and returns the Dataset. In contrast, open_dataset keeps the file handle open and lazy loads its contents.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description	Default
name	str	Name of the dataset to load.	required
conditions	dict	Additional conditions passed to where(), e.g., subject_id=['001', '002'].	{}

Returns

Type	Description
Dataset	The newly loaded dataset.
