Fetch an R dataset.
Only .rda datasets in community packages can be downloaded for now.

- Parameters:
dataset_name (string) – Name of the dataset, including extension if any.
package_name (string) – Name of the R package where this dataset resides.
package_url (string) – Package url. If None it tries to obtain it from the package name.
version (string) – If package_url is not specified, the version of the package to download. By default is the latest one.
folder_name (string) – Name of the folder where the downloaded package is stored. By default, is the last component of package_url.
subdir (string) – Subdirectory of the package containing the datasets. By default is ‘data’.
converter (rdata.conversion.Converter) – Object used to translate R objects into Python objects.
- Returns:
data – Dictionary-like object with all the data and metadata.
