params	a list of parameters
reference	reference dataset
colnames	names of columns
categorical_feature	categorical features
free_raw_data	TRUE for need to free raw data after construct
info	a list of information of the lgb.Dataset object

Examples

library(lightgbm)
data(agaricus.train, package = "lightgbm")
train <- agaricus.train
dtrain <- lgb.Dataset(train$data, label = train$label)
lgb.Dataset.save(dtrain, "lgb.Dataset.data")
dtrain <- lgb.Dataset("lgb.Dataset.data")
lgb.Dataset.construct(dtrain)
