        Read more in the :ref:`User Guide <memory>`.

        Parameters
        ----------
        location: str or None
            The path of the base directory to use as a data store
            or None. If None is given, no caching is done and
            the Memory object is completely transparent. This option
            replaces cachedir since version 0.12.

        backend: str, optional
            Type of store backend for reading/writing cache files.
            Default: 'local'.
            The 'local' backend is using regular filesystem operations to
            manipulate data (open, mv, etc) in the backend.

        cachedir: str or None, optional

            .. deprecated: 0.12
                'cachedir' has been deprecated in 0.12 and will be
                removed in 0.14. Use the 'location' parameter instead.

        mmap_mode: {None, 'r+', 'r', 'w+', 'c'}, optional
            The memmapping mode used when loading from cache
            numpy arrays. See numpy.load for the meaning of the
            arguments.

        compress: boolean, or integer, optional
            Whether to zip the stored data on disk. If an integer is
            given, it should be between 1 and 9, and sets the amount
            of compression. Note that compressed arrays cannot be
            read by memmapping.

        verbose: int, optional
            Verbosity flag, controls the debug messages that are issued
            as functions are evaluated.

        bytes_limit: int, optional
            Limit in bytes of the size of the cache.

        backend_options: dict, optional
            Contains a dictionnary of named parameters used to configure
            the store backend.
