Location of the directory to write file

y: None or ndarray, default = None

Response variable, discrete for classification, continuous for regression None if clustering.

problem_namestring, default = “sample_data”

The file is written to <path>/<problem_name>/<problem_name>.ts

header: string, default = None

Optional text at the top of the file that is ignored when loading.

regression: boolean, default = False

Indicate if this is a regression problem, so it is correcty specified in the header since there is no definite way of inferring this from y
