For example, to create a data table as shown above, first create a dictionary.

let data: [String: MLDataValueConvertible] = [
    "Title": ["Alice in Wonderland", "Hamlet", "Treasure Island", "Peter Pan"],
    "Author": ["Lewis Carroll", "William Shakespeare", "Robert L. Stevenson", "J. M. Barrie"],
    "Pages": [124, 98, 280, 94],
    "Genre": ["Fantasy", "Drama", "Adventure", "Fantasy"]
]

Then, use init(dictionary:) to create a data table from the dictionary.

let bookTable = try MLDataTable(dictionary: data)

The keys of the dictionary become the column names, and the value of each key becomes the element(s) of the corresponding column in the data table.
